"The secret to entertaining with panache is being prepared. Year-round entertaining will help the seasoned host, the novice party-giver, and everyone in between. When weekend guests appear for an extended party, fortify them with self-serve sandwich stations and stoke up the tea and coffee service. Learn professional caterers' tips for setting up killer dessert buffets ... . A party doesn't have to be stressful. Year-round entertaining will show how even the host can kick back, have a drink, and enjoy their own party"--Page 2 of cover.
