The book starts out with an explanation of ingredients, & terms. Recipes follow & include meal plans for barbecues, cocktail parties & buffet-style meals. Hints & tips for each occasional are also conveniently included.
All the recipes list preparation & cooking time. There is a great variety here for groups of 6 to 20 people. Whether the recipe can be doubled, halved, or frozen is also mentioned.
My favorite is the beef stroganoff. I also throw a lot of parties & my guests raved about the chicken liver pate, ratatouille, & eggplant soup. The orange charlotte russe was also a big hit.
