My Book Party Seriously Simple Parties
Seriously Simple Parties: Recipes, Menus & Advice for Effortless Entertaining
I had to let you know how great my book party was… Here are a few photos that I hope you like. My dear friend Denise Vivaldo pulled off the food and drink and all had a great time.. Very fun to do it at Surfas in Culver City, a cook and chefs dream for anything and everything for cooking and food related items. We had my wonderful Viognier Fruit Spritzer that was enough to sell out the book alone.,Other goodies included my Parmesan and Artichoke Dip, Chicken Drummetes with Romesco Sauce, Meatball Sliders, Warm Roasted Nuts, Cheese and Fruit Platter and the best Shortbread with Chocolate and Caramelized Walnuts you have ever tasted, which all contributed to make the party so fun and delish. I had an email from someone who attended the party who said “it was amazing the amount of love in the room.” I say what more could I ask for: dear friends and family, great food and an love all around— my version of heaven.
A Big Hit at the party… You just have to try if for your next big party
