Picture Perfect Parties: Annette Joseph's Stylish Solutions for Entertaining

I had a chance to sit down and really pour over my copy last night and it is a gorgeous book and I love the way it is set up for an entire party in each section. If you haven't picked one up yet I highly highly recommend it. It will be my "go to" gift this holiday season. Annette can't even imagine how over the moon you must be to see all of your amazing ideas in such a beautiful bound package.

Really enjoy the book and the ideas. I collect party/entertaining cookbooks, and read them like a novel. This book has several good ideas for decor, etc., the recipe's look great but are more involved than I have the time for, are probably too difficult for a kitchen novice.

Absolutely adore this book. It's not only beautiful and inspiring to look at but the ideas and recipes are simple enough to actually do. Even if you do just one small element from a party plan, that would be enough to make your party special. This is sure to be my favorite party book ever. I can't wait to get started.

I'd give this book a 3 star rating. Very rustic in ideas which I like. Recipes are very basic not special. What I like most is how the food is displayed in different rustic containers. You need a lot of them in your pantry. Doesn't do much with flowers. Doesn't really show finish tables for a party. You get some ideas but not much.

I love the recipes and all the place setting and decorating ideas. I bought one as a gift because it is such a good book.I had I hoped for more simple ideas on decorating a table but there were enough.I tried the the lemoncello dessert and it was excellent.

That is one of my dreams in life to make a wonderful table with food and my Guests but it hasn't happened yet. So don't give up on dreams.

Besides the recipes being easy to follow and I recognized the ingredients because sometimes I can't even pronounce them, the directions for the tablescapes were a breeze to understand. Love this book!

I expected more from this. It had nice pictures but I really did not find anything inspiring.

Great book. Loved it
