Summary:
"Picture Perfect Party provides blueprints for a year's worth of get-togethers, covering every holiday and occasion. From her years of experience, Annette Joseph has developed an arsenal of tricks for making entertaining easy, and here she shares them for the first time. Her focus is always on making use of items that are already at hand in the house, ingeniously transforming theordinary into the extraordinary--a style of entertaining that doesn't require spending a lot of money. For example, for the Fourth of July, she shows how to turn galvanized buckets upside down to create fun stands for her Sour Cream Apple Pie, or for Christmas, she explains how to serve Mini Pavlovas in cupcake liners. Her philosophy centers around the idea that the best way to bring people together and make food enjoyable is to create table presentations that excite the eye and delight the imagination as much as they do the palate..."--From the publisher.
