Ever wish you could host a dinner party and not be stuck in the kitchen while your guests talk and enjoy time together. Readers will notice early on that these are recipes that allow them to prepare much of the food ahead of time and finish up the meal quickly so they can spend more time as part of the party and less time standing over a hot stove.
