Cooking for a Crowd: Menus, Recipes and Strategies for Entertaining 10 to 50

The original edition of Cooking for a Crowd won great praise all around: Florence Fabricant named it one of the New York Times best books of the season. Perla Meyers, author of How to Peel a Peach, advised, "Keep this book as a reference whenever you are entertaining." And Rose Levy Berenbaum, author of The Cake Bible, declared, "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."
This new edition builds on the premise of the original-that many a home cook can manage the occasional dinner party for 4 to 6, but when it comes to entertaining a crowd of 10 or more, the logistics become exponentially more complicated. Wyler's ingeniously user-friendly combination of creative menus, do-ahead game plans, and crowd-pleasing recipes makes it possible for any home cook to entertain on a large scale.
Wyler has expanded the volume to include over 225 recipes and 35 menus for a variety of sizes and occasions-such as Tuscan Lunch for 12 to 16, Black and Orange Halloween Party for 24, even a Wedding Supper for 50.

A perfect balance of inspiring and instructive, Cooking for a Crowd is a must-have for all home cooks who want to bring large groups of family and friends together at the table.

Mix It Up With Jenny - Making Mother's Day Memories

(Family Features) - Mother's Day is a lovely way to pay tribute to moms and other women who have nurtured us, taught us and influenced our lives. If you're looking for a special way to say thank you and give her a wonderful memory, try some of these ideas.

Make Her a Favor Book. Put together a coupon book of favors that the kids will do for her. Write things like "I will help with the dishes," "Good for one long cuddle," and "Mom picks the movie" on index cards or slips of pretty paper and staple them together to make a booklet.

Say it With Flowers. In Victorian times, bouquet flowers were chosen very carefully because each flower had a special meaning. Give mom a bouquet that tells her how you feel. Some examples:

White carnations symbolize the purity and strength of motherhood. Pink ones mean gratitude, and red ones express deep love and affection.
Red roses are for deep love, pink for admiration, grace and elegance.
Hibiscuses are for delicate beauty. Get some to show her that she's beautiful inside and out.

Host a Special Brunch. Gather friends and family to celebrate motherhood at a leisurely brunch. Take plenty of photographs and pass around a memory book for guests to write down words of thanks and encouragement.

Set up a buffet that includes Crustless Broccoli and Cheddar Mini Quiches. These bite-sized beauties can be made ahead of time and frozen - they're a snap to reheat.

There are dozens of ways you can celebrate moms and the women in your life - get creative and give her a Mother's Day she'll never forget.
