Perfect Recipes for Having People Over by Pam Anderson

Perfect Recipes for Having People Over by Pam Anderson, reviewed by Trish Burns, Director

Houghton Mifflin, 2005 $35.00 304 pages
ISBN: 0618329722

If you like to entertain, but don’t have the capacity or time for really complicated recipes, this book will help you add variety to your favorite “company” dishes. The recipes are innovative without being really trendy, and many of them can be made for a larger crowd. Each recipe has a question section that answers “How far ahead can I make it?” “What should I serve with it?” and ”Are there any shortcuts?” – great information for any cook. Anderson, a former editor of Cook’s Illustrated magazine, puts her experience to work to provide a collection that helps you take some of the stress out of entertaining.
