Cooking for parties

Delicious, whimsical food, outside the box party planning tips, fun and inventive menus, and hilarious stories from elite New York caterer Mary Giuliani. Mary and her catering company Mary Giuliani Catering have found tremendous success serving a range of bites (mini grilled cheese, mini mac and cheese mini meatballs), rather than big heavy meals. She also relies on impressive serve yourself bars (think mozzarella bar, donut bar, frittata bar) which she likes to refer to as a ""snacktivity""--and each occasion has step-by-step directions to create these wonderful attention-getters. Other helpful features include- a guide to how to use the book, a party calculator (how much to buy and prep for any number of guests), and tips for what to stock your ""party closet"" with so you can quickly turn a casual drop-by into a fabulous time. Mary's motto, which you'll find throughout these pages, is EAT, DRINK, PLAY, RECOVER. Each chapter/party has recipes and ideas in each of these categories, from what to serve to what to send your guests home with.

Reviews for The Cocktail Party: Eat Drink Play Recover

Praise for Mary Giuliani and The Cocktail Party A handbook for living well and appreciating life with joyous abandon. Mario Batali, from the Foreword When Mary Giuliani caters a party at your home, guests eat more, drink more, and linger longer, and when they do finally leave they ask for to-go bags. All-encompassing but never fussy, clever but never pretentious, Mary s approach to food and entertaining is warm and familiar without ever sacrificing on quality and sophistication. Ariel Foxman, editorial director, InStyle Mary pulls it all together with effortless panache, and all I can ever remember the next day besides the fact that I drank too much is how delicious everything was and how much fun I had. That is why I have her saved on my phone as Party Expert.
