Publisher's Synopsis
The Blue Ribbon Dinner?Party Cookbook is a new format cookbook that shows you how to prepare delicious meals in an easy, organised manner so that you spend the evening with your guests, not in the kitchen.

This cookbook is international in its scope.?There are duck and quail recipes from France, lobster from the United States, vitello tonnato from Italy, Thai soup, and salmon from Great Britain. The book is also rich in ideas - melt-in-the-mouth cheese sable biscuits that can be made weeks ahead of serving; a?pizza that can be cut up into bite-size pieces and topped to make a plate of delicious hors d'eouvres. Have you ever had a stater of salmon mousse wrapped in its own smoked salmon case??Or a prawn souffle that won't fall? "I have been entertaining internationally for many years and have built up a file of recipes that I know are different and delicious - and they work!" says author Alison.
