The key to successful entertaining is here, with 33 carefully planned, tried and tested menus conveniently organized by occasion. Choose a Casual Supper, such as "A Family Affair" highlighted by Marinated Boned Lamb with Zinfandel Sauce. Present an Elegant Dinner, such as "A Touch of Sophistication," featuring Medallions of Veal in Brown Sauce with Port and Ginger. Or serve one of the Light Meals, which even include a special "Dieters' Dinner Party."
Try a Regional American Menu, from a modern version of a New England colonial feast to a spicy Tex-Mex fiesta. Choose an International Menu from Europe or the Far East. Or enjoy a Seasoal Celebration such as a Greek Easter feast or a traditional Thanksgiving.
