Synopsis
Martha offers 20 complete menus for gatherings both large and small, casual and sophisticated–all reflecting an elegantly relaxed approach to entertaining in the ’90s. With its delicious recipes, inspired styling, useful information, and exquisite photographs, this is the indispensable guide to hospitality. Just when you thought the lavish style of ’80s-era entertaining was gone forever, Martha has a cookbook destined to make party-givers want to blow up balloons and repolish their candelabras. Though she claims in her introduction that she now prefers simpler foods and fixings, Stewart’s mashed potatoes still call for a stick of butter, a quarter cup of heavy cream and a cup of softened cream cheese. “Light” this isn’t, but preparation and menus are indeed more spare than earlier efforts. 20 chapters give step-by-step instructions for assembling a theme party – whether a spicy Thai lunch or a fried green tomatoes brunch. Gone are the gilded pumpkins of yore; instead, Stewart’s Halloween party calls for pumpkins stuffed with a savory mix of vegetables and chicken, topped with puff pastry and served with a cognac cream sauce on the side.
