Cooking for a Crowd, Updated

When Susan Wyler\'s fabulous Cooking for a Crowd first appeared, Perla Myers, author of The Seasonal Kitchen, wrote She\'s a wonderful writer and Cooking for a Crowd proves her imaginative cooking. Keep her book as a reference when you are entertaining. And Rose Levy Berenbaum, author of Romantic and Classic Cakes, said, She puts together the components of a dinner with the passion, perfection and ease of a master painter. The game plans...enable any cook to impress without risk. Now this classic is back--and it\'s better than ever. Wyler has completely updated her book to address today\'s style of at-home celebrations, which are often more casual and multigenerational, and she shows us how to make good use of select ingredients from around the world now that so many foods are widely available. With 230 surefire recipes, this expanded volume includes over 30 year-round menus, each offering a flexible timetable for do-ahead preparation. From a Mexican Grillfest to a Passover Seder, from an elegant five-course sit-down meal for 18 to a Halloween Party for 30, Wyler\'s attention to detail and good taste will take the stress out of entertaining, even for the busiest cook.
