This is a book set for those who enjoy a good glass of wine in the company of amusing people. It is meant to help get the mechanics of a dinner party under control so that you can concentrate on what is really important, the guests and the conversation. A perfect gift book for Mother's Day, weddings, graduations and birthdays, The Hosting Books is an up-scale planner and record book that will provide years of successful events and happy memories, while acting as a resource for important dates, gift ideas, shopping lists, and related information. The three books are the Gatherings, the Calendar and References and the Guest History. Gatherings: This book provides a useful planner for your gatherings that helps you co-ordinate food, wine, table settings and even what you plan to wear. As well, this book will provide the user with a chronological history of any breakfast, brunch, luncheon, dinner or cocktail party that was hosted. At the end there is a Post Party Wrap Up that allows you to keep an account of what was successful and what was not, as well as a listing of entertaining or interesting comments for future reference. Calendar and References: This is the most complete example of a multi-cultural calendar currently in existence anywhere. If you are planning an event in the year 2001 that requires booking travel arrangements and holiday time from work, and you need to avoid Ramadan, the Chinese New Year, Sukkot, Advent and the Bahai 19 day fast, where would you get that information? An attempt has been made to provide African, American, Canadian, British, Chinese, Japanese, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu and European holidays for at least the next five years. In addition, phases of the moon for the next six years are calculated to help plan special events around a full moon. A list of inexpensive party games, appropriate gifts, and quick clean-up tips is included. There are then a number of pages for the host to list such things as where to buy specific items, who borrowed your book/disc/hammer at the last party, music/wine or recipes that you want to acquire for a party in the future, where to locate your favourite recipe, and other useful lists. Guest History: This book will help hosts keep a listing of favourite visitors; where they can be reached, what their favourite foods and beverages are, whose company they particularly enjoy or dislike, and what foods to avoid. (When was the last time you met someone without a food allergy?) Presented in a binder format, the Guest History helps you accommodate, plan for, and cook for friends who have problems with certain foods due to religious, medical, gastrointestinal or even fashion reasons. Sections on family and important occasions help to avoid missing a person's birthday or anniversary, and to provide a quick refresher on significant people and events in a visitor's life. (How many people can really remember the names of all the children and grandchildren of their friends on a moment's notice?) Four sections of this book provide space for a) a detailed listing of your Friends and their particulars, b) a listing of Acquaintances that you would like to invite at some point, c) a list of people who you don't know at all, but may like to invite at some point, and who could turn into Future Friends, with a special section on Single Men, who are always in demand and d) several Family Tree outlines for your family and the families of close friends, in case you should ever throw a party for them. Paper Engineering: The Hosting Books is an example of paper engineering of the late 20th century. For people who enjoy the design of a book as much as the content, this is presented in a beautiful folder with organza ribbon and original oil paintings by Katherine MacDonald illustrating a dinner party before the guests arrive, and then the next morning. Who would be interested in such a book? People who pride themselves on throwing good dinner parties which have as much inspired conversation as inspired menus. Newlyweds getting to know new friends and new family members. People with holiday homes who entertain the same friends for a weekend every year. People who like to keep lists. People just learning about wines and trying to keep good records. You can remember an occasion much better if there are amusing anecdotes. People who entertain for business reasons. People who need a good hostess gift to give to a friend who has had them over frequently. Most middle class people in North America have a richer lifestyle than most kings and queens in the 2000 years - or 10,000 years - before us. We have clean bodies and clean clothes, we have a climate controlled environment, we have foods from five continents; fruits, vegetables, seafood, pop tarts, we have freedom from fear, we have entertainment of all sorts from music, drama and comedy to the battle of the monster trucks, we are privy to the political gyrations of the great powers of the world - OK a little watered down, but still there. So what are we missing? A sense of hospitality? A sense of occasion? A love of revelry? A recognition of how wonderful our friends are? We choose to live our lives in the company of a certain set of people that we call our friends. If they are not witty and charming, then we should invest in another TV. If they are witty and charming why not take two minutes to record how funny and how insightful they really are after spending an evening with them. When you look at a dinner of people 20, 30 or 40 years ago, don't you wonder what they might have been talking about? With The Hosting Books, you will know. Hardcover, Edition: Pck, Label: Hushion House, Hushion House, Product group: Book, Published: 1998-12-06, Studio: Hushion House, Sales rank: 17351063.
