Summary: It should have been titled "Entertaining Ugly"
Comment: Too many pictures of white dishes. Nothing new in this book -- just cheap and ordinary suggestions. A dog deserves a better party than this.

Summary: At last! Real practical advice!
Comment: Okay, I am entertaining-impaired. I WANT to have people over, I WANT things to look and feel beautiful--but instead, I spend my whole time stressing about how to make things go better, and running around like a madwoman doing things that I should have thought of way in advance, if I'd had any sense or any organization. This book, with its beautiful photographs and its wonderful simplicity, makes me want to actually give a party! With the information here, I feel as though even I can make it work! And have fun at the same time.

Summary: Perfect Holiday Gift
Comment: At this time of year, I always consider throwing a holiday get-together and then talking myself out of it. After reading "Entertaining Simple," I'm going to make it happen. The ideas are doable, fun, engaging and the photography is beautiful. This is a lovely book to use and own any time of the year.

Summary: Finally, a way to have fun when hosting a party!
Comment: I've spent too many parties in my own kitchen, rushing around crazily trying to make things perfect, without having any time left to talk to my guests. This wonderfully imaginative yet practical book tells me exactly how to avoid that scenario--so I can throw a beautiful party, show my friends a good time, and really enjoy myself too. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Entertaining beyond very, very simple
Comment: I am quite a fan of Matthew Mead and liked what I saw on the site, however I am returning my book. Some ideas for entertaining simple include a candle in a doughnut, making take out food look like you made it (take it out of the boxes), and wrapping a ribbon around your silverware. I was very unimpressed. I thought it was geared to young persons without the tabletop dishes or experience entertaining. Check it out at a bookstore or library before buying.
