Summary: Wonderful recipes
Comment: I love this book! I'm a big fan of Rick Rogers books, and have several of them. I was excited when this one came out and bought it before I could read any reviews on it. I wasn't disappointed. I have tried about 10 of the recipes so far, and all have been just wonderful. My favorites are the Hickory-smoked Baby Back Ribs with Vidalia Onion Sauce (worth the price of the book alone!), the Cedar-Smoked Salmon, which I have made several times, the Angel Food Cake with Lemon Mousse Frosting (woa nellie, that's good), and the Hot Artichoke dip with Baguette Crisps. I make those Baguette crisps all the time. I love the suggested menues, which make planning so easy, and I also really appreciate the large yeild of each recipes, and how EASY they are to prepare! THe author makes it very easy to plan everything out and do things ahead of time so you're not rushing around at the last minute when you have guests. I love the book. I highly recommend it!

Summary: There is an index!
Comment: There is a complete index in Celebrations 101. In fact, it runs 11 pages. And there also is a complete menu at the start of each chapter. I should know. I am the author of the book. Enough said...

Summary: Easy to follow recipes
Comment: The recipes are very good, easy to follow and acessible for someone who isn't an experienced cook like me. The only complaint I have is that there isn't an index of recipes, or even a meaningful table of contents which details the menu of each meal. This is why I am only giving this book 2 stars.
