The Ultimate Entertaining Cookbook

Fabulous Food Using Only Three Ingredients

Chef Rozanne Gold, award-winning author of Recipes 1-2-3 and Recipes 1-2-3 Menu Cookbook, now applies her ingenious formula for great dishes with only three ingredients to the art of entertaining. She proves that party food can be not only easy to prepare, but beautiful to look at and delicious to eat.

A founder of the new culinary minimalism, Gold has created highly imaginative recipes that are remarkably flavorful. Her all-new repertoire of innovative food and drink includes more than seventy hors d'oeuvres, original cocktails, and glorious menus for brunches, casual lunches, and great buffets.

Gold, who has cooked for presidents and prime ministers and helped create two of America's most magical restaurants (the Rainbow Room and Windows on the World), knows that keeping it simple can also mean making it elegant. Unfussy yet enticing sit-down dinners highlight seasonal ingredients at their peak: Roast Duck with Pomegranate-Rosemary Jus in winter, Steamed Halibut with Leek Fondue in spring. Holiday celebrations are simplified with irresistible four-course dinners: Lamb Spiced with Ginger and Mint and Baked Shallot Custard for Easter, Red Snapper in Champagne Sauce and Jasmine Rice with Edible Flowers for Valentine's Day.

There are suggestions for fat-free, low-fat, and low-calorie entertaining and inspirations for spontaneous entertaining (three-ingredient dishes that take less than thirty minutes and desserts that take less than ten). With advice on do-ahead preparation, styles of service, affordable wines, and table decor, Entertaining 1-2-3 allows the host of the party to have as much fun as the guests.
