Feast of a Lifetime or Hungry for Comfort

Feast of a Lifetime: Sara's Story

Author: Nadine Leonard

Feast of a Lifetime is a cookbook written in the form of a biography. As the title implies, the book contains a unique collection of recipes and cooking tips that will assist the culinary enthusiast in preparing a diverse repertoire of fabulous international dishes. The recipes emphasize Italian cooking, as they were accumulated by two generations of Italian women.

The narrative tells the story of one of those women, the author's mother, Sara, who faced extraordinary challenges as a young adult. By the age of 25, Sara's mother had passed away, her son had been born with problems, her husband was unfaithful, and she had become the sole caretaker of her paralyzed father. With Sara's courage, combined with her sense of adventure and humor, she overcame those challenges to lead a fascinating life. Sara was lost in a revolution in Baghdad, lived in a haunted house in Brazil, and was later caught in an avalanche in Peru. With these and many other stories, the title of the book takes on a secondary meaning: Sara's lifetime itself was a feast--a feast of experiences.

Party Fun!

Author: New Holland

Now parents can find all the answers for preparing and holding memorable birthday parties for their kids! This guide takes you through every planning stage step-by-step, from making the invitations to choosing a theme and providing entertainment. The 20 inspiring party ideas include Plundering Pirates, Teddy’s Picnic, Skateboard Extreme, Funky Fashion Sleepover, Tenpin Bowling, Witches and Wizards, Boys’ Night Out, and Dolly’s Tea Party. Each celebration includes invitations, treat bags, food, party cake, and entertainment suggestions, and can be adapted to suit almost any age group. Many can be tailored to fit other special occasions, such as Valentine’s Day or Halloween gatherings. Illustrated throughout with full-color photographs, these creative festivities are so easy to arrange that children can be involved with many of the preparations.

Children's Literature

This is the ultimate themed party how-to book. It is sure to induce humility in all of us who are tempted to just take the birthday kids to Chuckie Cheese and be done with it. Every party plan in this handsome, oversized, paperback guide includes full color photos galore (150) to show you how to produce stunning parties—beginning with invitations, party decor, and treat bags. Directions then move along to four recipes for party food, four games or activities with directions, and a stunning cake. Party plans (twenty) include "Baby's First Birthday," "Plundering Pirates" (my favorite), "Hearty Party" (Valentine-y), "Teddy's Picnic," "Skateboard Extreme," "Funky Fashion Sleepover," "Tenpin Bowling," "Boys' Night Out," "Dolly's Tea Party," "Travel to Toyland," "Bling Bling Beads," "Wintry Wishes," "Chocolate Factory," "Mesmerizing Mermaids," "First Day at School," "Upside Down Back to Front" (this is a great idea-filled party—hot dogs on the outside of the buns), "Wrestling Fever," "Career Capers" (good for a graduate), and last but not least, "Ballet." An index of recipes, a set of templates for cakes and cookies, and a nice introduction round out this extravagantly illustrated book of archetypal parties. It is very British, with some mystifying ingredients like "Prestik" and "Edible glitter" and I am still puzzled where you get those black candy cannonballs for the pirate party and Marie biscuits that show up in about a third of the recipes. Jenny Dodd is also author of Party Ideas For Children. Since the Family Fun Parties: 100 Party Plans for Birthdays, Holidays, and Every Day by Deanna F. Cook seems to have gone out of print, the next best comparable title isSharron Krull's That Was the Best Party Ever! How to Give Birthday Parties Kids Will Never Forget () and Mike Artell and Pam Schiller's Parties Kids Love () which I always admired because it included children's book titles that tie to each archetypally themed party, and as we all will agree, books are the most important gift of all and the only ones you can open again and again.
