Helpful Hints on How Not to Go Mad

There are some of us who have to entertain frequently for business purposes and this book is good reading on how not to go insane. I finally read this book cover to cover the other night and even though I am not a NYC resident, all the anxieties of the characters are my own. Great writing and soon I'll find out if the recipes match O'Neill's advice.

Great Reading: Susan Sontag meets Martha Stewart!

O'Neill is an excellent writer and has stretched the boundaries of cookbook writing in an interesting way. Although her characters are not always interesting, the philosophy of the dinner party they evolve is. The recipes aren't really the heart of the book, but they, too, are interesting.
