Love this book!
I love Sheila Lukins style of writing......it's engaging, entertaining and informative. Celebrate! is a joy to read cover to cover. Wonderful range of recipes.
Fresh and Fun!
I love Celebrate!! I love to celebrate holidays and milestones with close friends, loving family and delicious food! I truly enjoy preparing food for others. Celebrate! is going to go a long way in helping me feed and celebrate with those I love! I can't wait to try entire menus, complete with music and beverage/wine recommendations! The menus in the book are fresh and bright and easy enough for a novice cook like me. The pages come alive with incredible pictures of both food and celebration! This is the first cook book I own that I can't put down ... I want to read it, not just duplicate a recipe from it! I have a feeling I'll be celebrating holidays and occasions I never did before, just so I can make these scrumptous menus! I can't ... Read More
EVERY THING A PARTY PLANNING BOOK SHOULD BE!
In one word...perfect! Celebrate! is great, every recipe I have made from it has been fabulous. (Try the coconut cream pie :)) And more importantly all the foods kind of meld together so each dish is distinct but not so diffrent as to not blend. Celebrate! has become my party reference! The parties are creative and go into details like flowers, recommended wines and music. And there are so many parties, from summer pool parties, a kentucky derby party, and big promotions to the standards like Christmas, and Easter! Buy Celebrate! you will NOT be disappointed!!!
Create a special occasion, just so you can use this cookbook
This cookbook covers a nifty range of special occasions--much better than that in any other cookbook I've seen! It includes traditional holidays, non-traditional holidays, and things that aren't holidays at all (the "congratulations on a new job" menu, the "Saturday night with friends" menu, the "Springtime bridal shower" menu, a menu for a big family reunion, a birthday bash, a housewarming, a cozy dinner for two, and more).
Many of the dishes are traditional, or have been around for many years, but Ms. Lukins brings her own flair to them. She never gets too outrageous, but she's also never boring. I think she walks the perfect middle ground to ensure that this cookbook will appeal to as many people as possible, which is a tough ... Read More
