Marshas Kitchen or Dinner Parties

Marsha's Kitchen: Memories and Recipes

Author: Nicolle Bea Fox


Food was a central part of our family's life growing up. When our mom died of leukemia, she didn't want to to be forgotten. My brother and I have compiled recipes from our youth and mixed in stories relating to the food, as well as some photos and poems. Part of the proceeds will go to the Leukemia Society in honor of Marsha's life.

Dinner Parties: Simple Recipes for Easy Entertaining

Author: Jessica Strand

Fabulous food and good times are on the menu with this collection of delicious, no-fuss recipes from home entertaining expert Jessica Strand. From an intimate dinner for four to a festive feast for a dozen, this collection of simple, yet sensational, recipes will inspire both experienced dinner hosts and first-time party planners. Orchestrating a cozy double-date is an affair to remember with elegant cocktails, Dry Rub Pork Ribs, Asian Coleslaw, and a special treat -- Homemade Sundaes (one per couple for an extra dose of romance) -- and when a full-scale gala for twelve is what's in order, Moroccan-style Roast Leg of Lamb with Mint Pesto is a show-stopper.
