Negative Positive
Title: Not for my life
Review: If you want a book that gives you a few recipes with the advice to just relax and do it, then this is for you.However, if you want a book that makes you feel comfortable with entertaining by taking you through all the steps (and great recipes), including what can go wrong and how to avoid it (and how to fix it, if it does), plus all the stuff you can do ahead to avoid last minute panic and allow you to relax with your guests, then you should check out the books by Diane Philips--The Diva of Do Ahead.I was left cold by Rubell's story about how her first entertaining attempt earned her a diamond from her parents' diamond merchant pal and what growing up and working in her parents' hotels taught her.I was completely stressed about entertaining and being told to relax was skimpy advice from a skinny book. I wanted to be prepared. This didn't do it.
