Featuring recipes that use five or fewer steps and family fun projects that be can accomplished within an hour, "Katie Brown's Weekends" teaches "domesticity for dummies." The end results of the more than 100 recipes and simple projects are depicted in 175 glorious, full-color photos.
In her fifth book, home guru Brown (a spunkier, perhaps more accessible Martha Stewart) delivers a powerful prescriptive for families afflicted with the "what-to-do-on-the-weekend" blues. Useful, imaginative ideas for the home enthusiast appear in all six chapters-"Helping Hands," "Neat Freak," "Secret Garden," "Around the World," "Great Outdoors," and "Holiday"-of this smartly styled, beautifully photographed, and enjoyable book. This New York Times syndicated columnist and Lifetime hostess has an engaging writing style as comfortable as an overstuffed sofa. Cleverly interwoven with anecdotes from Brown's idyllic childhood in Michigan, Weekends woos readers: each recipe, project, and idea (more than 100 in all) suits a particular mood and budget. Dig out those old magazines, take-out menus, and business cards and create a welcome package for new neighbors. Help the kids run a lemonade stand and use the proceeds to benefit the less fortunate. This book does what any good lifestyle book should do: instruct and entertain. Recommended for medium and large collections.-Steven G. Fullwood, NYPL Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Katie Brown's Weekends: Making the Most of Your Two Treasured Days
I love Katie Brown. Her book is as frenetic as her show, all over the map in an "I can't help but create!" way.
A lot of people don't like Martha Stewart: either because she is too corporate, or too highbrow. I'm fine with Martha Stewart, but Katie Brown is someone I'd actually want to hang out with. She's not annoying-crafty, or holier-than-thou crafty; she's fun-crafty. She seems to have endless ideas and frankly, not all of them are polished or cool looking. You could do as good a job yourself at most of these projects, or maybe even a better job. I think she shines best in recipes. They're simple but tasty.
Everything in here gets creative juices flowing. Brown manages to be inspiring without intimidating, which is a tall order.
