This book does not give you the recipes you might want for all your holiday entertaining, BUT it does give you simple, elegant, and tasty recipes for the menus it does give. Every recipe is simple to make and very well explained. Menus/recipes included are for the traditional holidays: New Year's, Valentine's Day, Easter, Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Way to go, Deb!
