Cooking For Crowds For Dummies

I purchased this book as a guide for my church dinners. Lots of basic information.

I purchased this book since I volunteered to cook for fellowship suppers at church. I really appreciated the helpful tips and recipes. The cheat sheet at the front of the book is so handy and I use it all the time. You will learn something you didn't know about cooking for a crowd in each chapter. There is no subject not covered and is an invaluable tool for me. Good book!!

It is a good book but nothing to write home about. I was a bit disappointed as I thought there was going to be more pre-planning for throwing a party or arranging a menu. Recipes are not very creative (just the basics). In any case it is recommended.

The recipes were simple and realistic and I think they would please the average person. .The charts were very helpful.

My friend prepares food for the homeless in Austin Texas. (Ministry Under the Bridge) This book gives easy fast recipes for many people. I used it when I was preparing food for my husband's Masonic Lodges. The people all love the food.

This book is full of great information for anyone who needs to feed a group I like the tables showing proportion sizes, menu and decorating suggestions, recipies, and it is loaded with great tips for a successful event.

A handy guide. OK recipes. helpful.

I had been cooking (at home) for many years, and then took on cooking for 50-100 people once a week. I thought the book would help, but it wasn't very useful. All the information was just common sense and the tone of the book is talking down to you. Don't waste your time on a book, spend it cooking!

This book i feel was written for the American market.Didn't use any of the recipes.Mainly text with few illustrations.Did have some useful general tips about cooking for crowds.

will be useful for the quantity conversion chart. Recopies suit American rather than British tastes

Purchased this as thought it would be handy when I entertain, very good buy

This book is just what we were looking for. It's a big helpin setting quantities and menus for groups over 50 people.

just glanced through it to date, seems full of useful information.
