"Be Your Own Best Guest. Today you can follow the fashion that suits you best: casual or formal, traditional or contemporary. And these company menus - more that 30 in all - cover the full range. You'll find plans for outdoor dining, ideas for party menus that start at the local deli and, of course, designs for elegant fare. Included, too, is all the background information any potential party-giver needs: detailed preparation timetables, serving suggestions and attractive and unusual ideas for centerpieces and table decor.
