Whether your party is small get-together of close friends or a larger party with a long guest list, this "Diva of Do-Ahead" helps the reader have everything planned and prepared from the beginning, so there are no surprises. But she doesn’t stop there! Ms. Phillips also provides information she calls "Diva Tips" to assist you in case the unexpected happens, such as having extra guests show up, last minute quick items in case one of your dishes splats on the floor, and how to salvage cooking mistakes and make presentable appetizers from them. Each recipe is categorized and marked with the type of party for which that dish is best suited. There are five categories from which to choose: casual, grazing, holiday, informal, and elegant. Each of these categories contains traditional foods the reader would expect to find in a party preparation and meal-planning guide, but this book takes it a step further. For the more adventurous party planners, Perfect Party Food also offers a variety of non-traditional and ethnic recipes to appeal to your wild side of party planning.
