The Party Girl Cookbook

By Nina Lesowitz and Lara Morris Starr

Book Overview

Tap into your inner party girl

No more boring parties. Whether you're entertaining three people or three hundred, The Party Girl Cookbook can turn you into a party girl and every occasion into a memorable event. Most entertaining books are overly ambitious and complex, or assume you have limitless resources and a catering staff at your disposal. The average woman who wants to give a party without breaking the bank or her back is out of luck. Not any more. The Party Girls' number one rule is, Have fun, even and especially if you're the hostess. No deep frying or stuffing miniature mushrooms for hours on end. Each of the twenty four themed fetes, from the familiar Halloween and Valentine's Day, to the exotic Come As You Were: Reincarnation Party. It includes ideas for invitations, party favors, decorations, music, games, costumes, and tons of food and drink.

Whether you use The Party Girl Cookbook as a step-by-step guide to throwing the most talked-about party ever, or as a personal manifesto to living life like a party girl, it will entertain and enlighten you with its humor, energy, and originality.

Fun and Helpful Party Tips!

Having thrown a few parties in my time, I know the frustrations and annoyances that most "party" cookbooks serve up to the ambitious host/ess. Hours of prep, cooking and clean up for a few minutes of fun. Not with the party girls! Their easy recipes and fun, imaginative themes make you WANT to throw a party. And since there are two themes per month (and some are pretty ...unique) you have no excuse not to. I have made about a dozen of the recipes and have found them as easy and tasty as advertised. I know I sound like a commercial for this book, but I really have enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.

The Party Girl Cookbook

I've ready hundreds of books on entertaining and believe I have finally found my kindred spirits. Known as a "party girl" myself, I am frequently planning something between home and work. This book has given me many great ideas that I can't wait to mold into my own party repertoire. If you are looking for a book to plan your next soiree, this is the book for you. Kudos to Lara and Nina! I can't wait until they write another.

The Party Girl Cookbook

Fun 'n' fab 'n' filled with facts, this great book is the perfect answer to the question, "What should we do next weekend?" If you're a vegetarian like me who gets sick of being offered hot dogs at unimaginative 4th of July barbecues, you'll love the wide variety of offerings listed here. Spicing up the recipes are all kinds of party ideas and great trivia--who knew there were so many verses of "The Star Spangled Banner"? These authors did, and they've served all those verses up, along with 300 pages of other info, contest ideas, inventive invitations, costume recommendations, suggested soundtracks, and decorating details. This book makes throwing the party as much fun as attending.

It's fabulous - a creative look at party giving!

The book is very well written and organized and the recipes are great. I like the way they have given readers a a new twist on holiday party giving!
