Now You're Cooking for Company: Everything a Beginner Needs to Know to Have People Over Book

You don't have to be an experienced cook to throw a great party. All you need is a few solid recipes and the know-how to put them together. You'll find both in Now You're Cooking for Company. In 1994 Elaine Corn gave beginning cooks the simple, straight-talking cookbook they had been looking for for decades. Now Corn turns her attention to the challenges of entertaining. As encouraging, helpful, and humorous as ever, she guides first-time party-givers through all the steps of feeding guests. She'll teach you to plan a menu, set a beautiful table, and even clean up quickly and easily after everyone's gone. Her 120 company recipes are impressive enough to draw "oohs" and "aaahs," but are amazingly easy to prepare.
