The Do-Ahead Diva is back again with great ideas and suggestions for stress-free entertaining. Every recipe in the book is a "Do-Ahead," and we all know that that is the key for smooth times in the kitchen especially when entertaining! Ms. Phillips spans the entire repertoire of occasions with the inclusion of simple cocktail parties and afternoon teas, to formal back tie dinners and everything in between. The chapters are organized by food category including two chapters on appetizers, followed by Party Salads,Sides, Poultry, Fish and Shellfish, Beef, Pork, Lamb, Sauces, Sweet and Savory Breads, Breakfast and Brunch, and Desserts. We especially appreciated the ending chapter on menu planning and the couple dozen suggested menus by specific occasion. With Diane's guidance, you should feel quite enabled to entertain in style with scrumptious food while also enjoying the party because it's all done ahead!
