The Complete Hostess must surely be the answer to many a housewife's prayer. It is a most comprehensive and practical guide to the art of home entertaining. In this book she will find the answer to such problems as the preparation of a formal dinner party menu, a children's birthday party menu and even a wedding breakfast menu. Not only are there many practical suggestions, but also numerous recipes and a whole range of menus fit for any occasion.
Cooking can surely hold its place with most other art forms, a fact which many of the world's greatest writers have recognised, thus you will find dotted here and there throughout this book amusing quotations and epigrams concerning the practice of cooking and entertaining by some of the world's greatest writers.
This is in fact, a thoroughly worthwhile and practical book, which contrives to be both exotic and simple. A book for every housewife's bookshelf.
