Party
Hearty
Hot,
Sexy, Have-a-Blast Food & Fun All Year Round
By Marilu
Henner
"I've
always been a party person. To this day, I associate holidays with
being a little naughty and eating and partying too much -- but now
my healthy lifestyle doesn't fall apart. In Party Hearty, I help
you build a few simple corrective actions right into your holiday
routine so that you won't gain weight, be sick or hung over, or
need to diet or detox afterword."
Party
Hearty is a health conscious cookbook within a holiday party
book. All popular holidays are accounted for. Each holiday has recipes
along with party ideas, such as music, decorating, table settings,
gifts, scents, games and prizes. My favorite recipe is on page 110,
in the Mardi Gras section (Emeril's Pasta Salad with Garden Vegetables,
Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Herbed Vinaigrette). Also included are
colorful photographs of the finished dishes, each looking delicious
and tempting, ready to entice the reader into trying the book.
The
author, Marilu Henner, is known for two things: acting and healthy
eating. In Party Hearty, she offers party ideas, but she
also gives those who don't eat the usually holiday fare some healthier
choices. Henner also brings back the true idea of celebration and
that is having fun with the ones you're with, and making great memories.
Pick
up Party Hearty and pick up some great ideas for Christmas,
a Summer Picnic, Earth Day, Midsummer's Night Eve, Easter, and the
Chinese New Year, just to name a few.
