Tim shares with readers his imaginative ideas for creating simple yet show-stopping occasions that can wow guests and make even beginners look like seasoned hosts.

Believing that hosts should have as much fun at their parties as their guests and that "Entertaining should never be intimidating," Tim guides us step-by-step through each occasion in the book, providing timelines to follow along the way: How to choose a theme; How to develop a menu; How to create a grocery list; How to shop for supplies; and How to present and execute each event like a pro.
