| In her previous book "The Bride & Groom s FIrst Cookbook Kirsch s goal was to teach a couple to work together side by side in the kitchen. The focus of this book is on entertaining with menus presented in a seasonal format. So in the autumn you might have friends over for A Fall Seafood Ragout or A Hearty Short Rib Dinner and in Summer you might throw a Pulled-Pork Barbeque or share a Season s Bounty Pasta Frittata. Each menu features side dishes starters dessert and wine suggestions. This would be a fine first anniversary gift and even well-established cooking couples will enjoy the tasty sophisticated recipes such as Gorgonzola & Caramelized Onion Tart Grilled Shrimp with Mango Chutney and Intensely Moist Triple Chocolate Cake.By Abigail Kirsch professional caterer trained at the CIA and Le Cordon Bleu Complete game plans for dinner parties lunches brunches throughout the year Seasonal menus Do ahead suggestions wine recommendations No photos No nutritional analysis Chapters on all-occasion hors d oeuvres desserts and drinks 289 Pages hardcover 8 1/4" x 9 1/2" |
