Reviews

This lavish book covers much the same type of material as Martha Stewart's Entertaining ( LJ 12/15/82). The illustrations, however, do not have the simplicity and freshness of those of the Stewart book. The volume is divided into four parts: a description of ``theme'' and holiday parties; a detailed section on party planning and organizing; menus and recipes that accompany the parties described in the first segment; and a final part dealing with flowers. Unfortunately, some of the recipes leave out important steps or specifics. However, the final section includes a useful, lengthy flower chart, as well as excellent advice and ideas on arranging and working with flowers, and there are practical ideas and handy charts throughout the book. Recommended. Connie Chambers, Perrot Memorial Lib., Old Greenwich, Ct.
