Publishers Text

With the award-winning Country Weekends, Lee Bailey invented the entertaining book that celebrated a stylish but relaxed life style. Now he's reinvented the genre with Dinners at Home, a smart, accessible book that focuses in on all the details that make dinners with friends foolproof and entertaining the pleasure it should be.

Lee knows that everyone is busy, and having a dinner party--be it small or large--can be both time-consuming and tiring. So he saves you time and energy by offering nine surefire and simple menus that will dazzle any guest. Whether you prefer to serve meat, poultry, or seafood, all tastes are accommodated with tasty and easy-to-prepare dishes like Baked Tenderloin of Beef, Lemon Chicken with Sour Cream Sauce, and Mixed Seafood Ragout. There are also Fish, Casserole, Pasta, Pork, Soup, and Vegetarian Dinners. Salads, side dishes, and, of course, desserts are all here and may be mixed and matched following Lee's tips or the host's wishes. For even greater variety, Lee provides an alternative main dish thus ensuring dinner party ideas for years to come.

Maybe the greatest help of all are the time plans in which Lee outlines the best way to approach preparing the meal. No more guessing games about where to begin and no more frustration as you race the clock to beat the arrival of your guests. Simple, step-by-step instructions tell you exactly what to do and in what order; even what can be prepared ahead of time like a Macaroni Casserole with Chicken and Spicy Sausage, a Creamed Corn and Red Bell Pepper Soup that freezes well, and a dry roux that can be kept for months.
