My Take on the Book
The recipes in this cookbook reflect the life of Martina McBride, an entertainer. She is a wife, mother,and loves to entertain family and friends in her home. The recipes are grouped into entire meals with beverages, appetizers, main courses, sides, and desserts in each section. Some of the entries are: fall supper, bruchetta bash, a retro Valentine's day, supper club, taco fiesta, and more.

Martina gives you all of the basics and takes the reader from step one to the end. She includes not only the recipes with photographs of the finished products, but also a list of songs to play, ideas for table decorations and more. I was impressed with the thorough planning in this cookbook.

There are over 278 pages of delicious recipes for you and your family to enjoy. If you are searching for an eclectic cookbook with assistance every step of the way, you will want to take a look at this book.

Buon Appetito!
