A favorite book of mine

This is a must have book. I have used it many times and I highly recommend it. I think she has Martha Stewart beat by a longshot. This is a book I won't lend out for fear of it not being returned to me.

Girl Next Door

I watched Katie Brown's show every day and even taped her show and begin a library of my own to share with my family. She shows you how to take the simplest things around your house and create the most unusual decorations. Everything I have ever made was complimented on and I always told every one about Katie. So many women wish that Lifetime would re-run her shows, especially with the holidays coming.....I think she's great..and you don't need to be rich to afford warmth, elegance and spirit into your home..SHE'S THE BESTMarge DeSimone.

Awesome Book!

I was absolutely shocked to read any negative comments in the reviews about the recipes. It made me wonder if those with negative comments actually spent enough time looking at the book. Regardless, I just had a New Year's Eve dinner party and made the Santa Fe Dreams menu that included BBQ Pork Loin Marinated in Tequila and Corriander, Black Bean Cakes, and Corn Salsa... but changed the dessert from Flan to the Grand Hotel Pecan Balls with Chocolate Sauce from another menu in the book. It was all absolutely fabulous and my guests loved it! Several people want the recipes. I have to agree that the decorating ideas are a bit odd and unrealistic but definitely original. However, the food recipes are out of this world. The food I made tasted like it does when you go to a fabulous restaurant. Buy this book if you're out to impress or if you just want some delicious new recipes!

It's one of the best entertaining books out there.

I was a little disappointed in some of the other reviews. Katie Brown has put together a fine book. Anyone who has seen her show knows that her ideas are supposed to be easy, quick, inexpensive, and fun. And that's exactly what she's shown here. I love Martha just as much as the next person. But I want more realistic ideas and that's what Katie offers. Hats off to Katie Brown, for a fun book.

Now, This Is A Woman You Can Admire!

Katie Brown is a girl that I can really get behind. I have been a longtime of hers (due to her TV show on Lifetime and following her career as a Native UP. Michigan gal like myself) but her work in the new book "Katie Brown Entertains" really brings her into a new category. She's such a down to earth, sweet, fun and wonderfully talented woman who can take everyday crafts and turn them into something truly special. I love her easy approach to life and entertaining. I found myself caught up in her excitement and I really believe that anyone could take her ideas and turn them into practical formulas for success. Her book breaks down every dinner party theme you can think of, and shows you every element of it. From the food, the design concept, and the table setting decorations. She's so talented and makes it easy for all of us to bring something special to our entertaining. It's a wonderful new book and a great new resource to have in your corner. I really loved it!
