In recent years, books about entertaining, in a never-ending quest to sell as many units as possible, have wandered away from their true mission. Now, nearly every title focuses on making it quick and effortless, with easy-this and store-bought that, and the specious promise that you needn't work to throw a great party. But, in fact, working is what makes a great party, and there are a lot of people who love to do it - as proven by the entire career of Martha Stewart. Some readers may want to get dinner on the table as quickly as possible; this book is not for them. "Fandango" is about making it memorable: making it big, making it participatory, and making it cohesive. Sometimes the food is rustic, inexpensive, and simple to cook: a fiesta luncheon of Mexican dishes, or the Summer Day barbecue. Sometimes it's downright indulgent - a truffle dinner, or a romantic supper. The 125 recipes run the gamut from traditional American and Mexican food to exotic Indian, rustic Italian and Spanish, and even a wee bit O'Scottish. In wine-country style, every course is paired with a wine - both a general varietal suggestion and a specific bottle. Sometimes beer. Or watermelon margaritas.

Hardcover. Etat : Used - Very Good. Sandy Hill is rich in imagination, style, taste, and experience. She has climbed the highest peak on every continent. She has kayaked the Arctic and ridden across the Masai Mara in Kenya on horseback. She owns a vineyard in California, and she throws parties that are the talk of whatever town she's in.Memorable entertaining, for her, is not about the easy this and store-bought that--if it's simple, why bother? It's about inspiration and preparation, about making every occasion as grand as you would if it were the last thing you'd ever do. To that end, she engages her full imagination, rolls up her sleeves, asks her guests to be co-conspirators, and creates gutsy, one-of-a-kind events of all sizes and shapes at her ranch in wine country.The results range from the intimate to the ultimate: rowboat suppers for two and July Fourth blowouts for hundreds; Mexican luncheons to celebrate the harvest and feasts honoring Hindu gods; treasure hunts; poetry readings, grape picking and wine tastings; bachelor parties and wedding picnics; and bona fide holidays such as Father's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas as you've probably never imagined they could be. These are parties at which the energy flows both ways, from prepared and inspired hostess to willing and active guest, where people sing or cook or ride for their supper, then talk about it for years to come.But for all these parties' grand gestures, they're not about precious perfection. The decorations and menus are real and re-creatable. The recipes, 125 in all, run the gamut from new twists on traditional American and Mexican food to rustic Italian, Spanish, Indian, and Scottish, and each is paired with a specific wine, beer, or cocktail. And while you may never have an elephant on hand to give your guests rides at a party, there's nothing to stop you from equally singular flights of imagination, from guests in costume to colorful table linens or the sheer beauty of a natural backdrop. So go on, dream a grand party, with 'Fandango' as your guide. Inspired, imaginative entertaining is explored by one of the leading arbiters of taste and style. Presented in a spectacular, oversized package, this collection of 125 international recipes captures the essence of culinary celebrations and reveals the beauty of Californias wine country.
