Reader reviews for Confessions of a Serial Entertainer

From the publisher

Menus and anecdotes give away one man's secrets for entertaining in style.

Steven Stolman has a gregarious personality. He loves to entertain: cocktail parties in Palm Beach, football game-day gatherings in Wisconsin, family Passover Sedars in Connecticut, and dinner parties in his New York apartment. "Of all our friends, we have the smallest places, yet we seem to do more entertaining than anyone." It's about the people and the food, he says.

He also loves old community and church cookbooks from the 1950s to the '70s. And these are his inspirations for party food: dips and cheese spreads with crackers, family recipes for delicious roasts, breakfast casseroles, and desserts.

What Stolman confesses is that he hates hostess gifts and isn't afraid to say so. He advises women not to take a purse to a party and just "tuck it behind here" to avoid holding it--thanks for ruining my furniture arrangement! He advises about the importance of having silver serving pieces and how to dress for a cocktail party or a dinner party (at least try!). And he confesses that even when he has hired servers to pass hors d'oeuvres, he can't help but carry a tray around himself!

This book will give any novice party host ideas and confidence, and it will inspire seasoned hosts to simplify and enjoy the party.

Steven Stolman is the author of 40 Years of Fabulous and Scalamandr Haute Dcor. He divides his time among homes in Palm Beach, New York, and Milwaukee.
