How to Throw a Dinner Party Without Having a Nervous Breakdown is a practical guide to entertaining. Tamara Reynolds and Zora O'Neill provide creative solutions for the first-time host, who may be short on furniture, food and even friends. This is almost certainly the only book in any genre to use the phrase "like pot luck, but for your ass."
We pair straight advice on getting organized and buying cookware with menus geared for every level, from a Baby-Step Dinner Party menu to a section titled Get In Over Your Head. In every case, we provide the all-important Plan of Attack: step-by-step marching orders for each menu. Throughout the book, we share our own cooking blunders-we want you to know about the time we served raw fried chicken, so you can avoid that same trauma.
How to Throw a Dinner Party Without Having a Nervous Breakdown is 10MB (or 234 pages, if you go retro with the Forking Fantastic! paperback) that will change your life.
