Ready for something new? Tired of serving the same old snacks every time you host the gang for game day? Want to surprise your foodie sister with a scrumptious gender reveal party? Trying to come up with a fresh, original menu for that big event coming up? With her latest cookbook from Warren Publishing, Party On! 10 Pescatarian Finger Food Feasts from Around the World, Carrie Shapley delivers an international variety of curated menus and party plans for every occasion.
Both cookbook and party planner, Party On! offers “something new” for everyone. Party menus are organized by country, ensuring that recipes complement one another and make enticing buffets. With 10 different countries to choose from, readers can take guests on a culinary world tour as they dish out a variety of unique flavors from across the globe. Shapley compiled mouth-watering menus from Brazil, China, Ethiopia, France, Greece, India, Italy, Mexico, Ukraine, and the United States. While she loves every recipe in her book, Shapley is especially fond of her French Beurre Blanc Deviled Eggs, Indian Curried Shrimp, and Mini Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizzas.
Shapley recognizes the challenges of hosting events. “Everyone who loves to entertain struggles with three things: how much food to make, how to pull together a good menu, and how to get all the dishes made and ready at the same time,” Shapley said. Those challenges were the guideposts she followed as she created party plans that center on a nutritionally balanced menu for a set number of guests (from 12-30), accompanied by a party-prep countdown that ensures everything will be ready on time.
Shapley is immensely proud of the edible world tour she has created in Party On! 10 Pescatarian Finger Food Feasts from Around the World. She hopes her easy-to-follow recipes will inspire cooks of all skill levels to prepare and host a variety of parties this year. Her delectable menus are a perfect way to impress guests, stress less, and have everyone talking about your next food feast.
