Susan Wyler's indispensable classic is back in print-now better than ever, with more than a dozen new menus, over 70 new recipes, and a wealth of updated strategies
The original edition of Cooking for a Crowd won great praise all around: Florence Fabricant named it one of the New York Times best books of the season. Perla Meyers, author of How to Peel a Peach, advised, "Keep this book as a reference whenever you are entertaining." And Rose Levy Berenbaum, author of The Cake Bible, declared, "She puts together the components of a dinner with the passion, perfection, and ease of a master painter. The game plans . . . enable any cook to impress without risk."
This new edition builds on the premise of the original-that many a home cook can manage the occasional dinner party for 4 to 6, but when it comes to entertaining a crowd of 10 or more, the logistics become exponentially more complicated. Wyler's ingeniously user-friendly combination of creative menus, do-ahead game plans, and crowd-pleasing recipes makes it possible for any home cook to entertain on a large scale.
Wyler has expanded the volume to include over 225 recipes and 35 menus for a variety of sizes and occasions-such as Tuscan Lunch for 12 to 16, Black and Orange Halloween Party for 24, even a Wedding Supper for 50.
A perfect balance of inspiring and instructive, Cooking for a Crowd is a must-have for all home cooks who want to bring large groups of family and friends together at the table.

      When a cook has a swarm of eaters to satisfy, it's more important than ever to stay organized. That is why Wyler goes beyond simply inventorying recipes. With each menu, she provides a time line to get the cook focused to avoid last-minute surprises. Her menus and recipe suggestions reflect simple and unpretentious foods that emphasize flavor. She leans heavily on currently popular Mexican and Italian cuisines, but she doesn't neglect Indian and Moroccan traditions. She even has a Passover seder to feed a large extended family. Wyler eschews all manner of processed foods, presenting recipes calling for fresh ingredients. But she avoids anything so exotic it might put off the fussy eater. Wyler appreciates outdoor parties, offering menus for several kinds of barbecues, including an extravaganza of pulled pork with all the trimmings. There are several Thanksgiving dinners, one featuring roast goose. She also presents brunch ideas and offers plans for wedding showers and similar celebrations. Anyone faced with feeding a crowd will find many worthwhile resources here.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
