Julia is here to make life easier for the hundreds of thousands of American cooks faced with the perennial problem of what to cook for company. Here are splendid complete menus for entertaining - simple dishes and elegant ones, thrifty meals and splurges, quickly whipped-up recipes and loving creations, something for every mood and occasion. Whether you've invited vegetarians for dinner or friends who particularly relish the extravagances to be had in a top-flight restaurant, Julia has the answers. A whole new wonderful choice of delights. Endlessly fascinated by new possibilities that make the art of cooking (and eating) ever more exciting. Always inventive, always resourceful, Julia draws freely on the cuisines of many countries for new inspiration. As can be seen from the color photographs throughout, everything you serve will be as appetizing for your company to behold as it will be to taste and to savor.
