    Coming August 1, 2008…Presenting the Book, Easy Entertaining for Beginners

    (Torrance, CA.)  Many “New Nesters” have never entertained in their lives and don’t know where to start. What’s more, they have little time to pull off elaborate entertaining and few have the budget to hire expensive caterers. It is easy to imagine a relaxing evening in their homes with delicious food and drink, great music and laughter of good friends and family. The question is, “How can they pull it off?”

    Beginners don’t have to be gourmet chefs or nervous wrecks to host fantastic dinner parties.

    They need resources designed specifically for the beginner. They need permission to concentrate on doing a few important things well, rather than try to accomplish a daunting list of must-haves such as complicated menus, detailed invitations and elaborate decorations. Author, Patricia Mendez helps these aspiring hosts and hostesses have a terrific time putting together a superb evening. With 13 complete menus and much more, readers are eased through every phase of planning, preparation and presentation. Novice hosts will gain confidence so they and their guests can enjoy casual at-home celebrations.
