The mere suggestion to throw a cocktail party can be a daunting one to most people.
However in reality, with proper planning a party can be pulled off a lot easier than
we imagine. Even for those of us who barely have time to run our most important errands,
there is a solution. Chef and hostess extraordinaire, Rozanne Gold, offers a simple
and very accessible plan of attack. Well aware of the pressure to impress during the
holiday season, she offers easy-to-follow advice and recipes for complete success!
What entertainers need to keep in mind is that festivity and joy are for partygoers
and givers alike.
Setting our cares aside, (because we also learn that we don't have to spend a lot of time and money to dazzle our guests), we follow this book's examples on how to spread holiday and New Year's cheer in three basic steps. The following Timeline 1-2-3 is from Rozanne's latest book, Entertaining 1-2-3. This timeline is the crucial tool that makes our next party's preparations both well organized and fun. |
