But the thought of entertaining may be so daunting that perhaps you haven't entertained in years, or at all. Whether you work and can't squeeze in the time it takes to plan a party or you are shy about your talents and abilities, The Carefree Gourmet, the complete party planner, is for you. It includes everything from how to address the invitation to a schedule to keep you on track; the menu, recipes, even some relaxing ideas to help you enjoy your party too! You can take it with you to the market, the bakery, the cleaners, anywhere you need to go so you don't forget something or have to rewrite lists. This edition of The Carefree Gourmet Presents Dazzeling Desserts, Bountiful Brunch, Tea Anytime, Brazillian Bar-B-Que, Casual Cajun and the Classy Cocktail, is centered around six entertaining events that lend themselves to relaxing, splurging on yourself, focusing on the simple pleasures in life - delectable, mouth-watering temptations and the company of family and good friends. These parties can be held in the late morning, mid-afternoon, or evening. You can have an open house, entertain on a sunny porch, in the spring, outside with lots of flowers and family, or you can create an elegant evening by the fireplace, with champagne to sip as you nibble fresh strawberries dipped in whipped cream or warm melted dark chocolate. These buffets are wonderful, in that many of the dishes can be prepared either weeks or days ahead of time, then frozen/defrosted or stored in airtight containers. Most items can be purchased from the neighborhood store. Set up and clean up are a breeze and these menu items make a wonderful presentation by themselves, so table decoration is a snap. Buffets lend themselves to inviting more people than you could invite to a sit down party. It allows you to circulate amongst your guests freely and not spend so much time in the kitchen. So open this book and start on your next party, no special occasion required; just having delightful friends is enough to celebrate!

Download or read book Dazzling Desserts written by Miriam Canter and published by . This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dazzling Desserts: Over 100 recipes from Scandinavia, France, Germany, Italy, Central Europe and More. This book is to be cherished for its simple and easy to make recipes. The measurements and ingredients are given in familiar terms that even a beginner can understand. Paying homage to the beautiful illustrations on the covers of this book, we are featuring fruit desserts in many of our recipes. Although fruit had been eaten by humans and animals long before recorded time, this collection of recipes focuses on fruits as dessert ingredients. Fruit is found in all manner of preparation and combinations: fresh, stewed, and baked in cakes, pies, cookies, tortes, as well as in frozen dishes. Platters of assorted cut-up fruits are common as desserts and on party buffet tables. Today's supermarkets offer such beautifully arranged fruits, taking the time and effort required out of a hostess's hands. For those on low-calorie or low-sugar diets, fresh fruit provides a delicious and beautiful dessert. Fruits that were previously available in this country only in season are now to be found all year long, coming from Central and South American countries whose growing seasons are opposite our own. So there is no reason not to have berries, melons, peaches, and pears all year long. Dried fruits also provide color and crunch to cookies and cakes. All of the recipes in this book have been chosen for readily available ingredients, standard sizes and shapes of pans and utensils, ease of preparation, and clarity of instructions. There has been no attempt to include information about dietary restrictions or substitutions of ingredients for that purpose.
