Katie Brown Entertains : 16 Menus 16 Occasions 16 Tables

Summary: Ummm, who's going to do this?
Review: All I have to say is who is going put together these decorations? If you come over to my house for a party, don't worry about having to eat on sod place mats, it just won't happen. I would never put in this much effort to decorate for a dinner party. I was so turned off by the goofy-themed party ideas, I didn't even read any of the recipes - they might be good, I just couldn't handle looking at this book any longer.

Summary: Katie Brown Entertains: 16 Menus, 16 Occasions, 16 Tables
Review: I enjoyed the book and plan to try some of the menus and decorating ideas. I am hoping the reviewer that said that Katie would be getting her own TV show is correct! I am really sorry that Lifetime dropped her show. Katie made a headboard on her Lifetime show which I made. It turned out great and I received compliments from my family and friends. Katie comes over as a real person who makes you feel you can do the projects and menus. Katie comes over as a real person and not superficial.

Summary: I really wanted to like this book
Review: I have heard people refer to Katie as a less fussy version of Martha, but to me it comes across as trite and overtly superficial. It's as if she is trying so hard to be "less fussy". I will be the first to admit that some of Martha's projects are insanely fussy, but at least they are pleasing to the eye. I just can't say the same for Katie's stuff.

Summary: A Katie, yes, but a Martha? No!
Review: I remember watching Katie Brown on lifetime tv and thinking that she had such great ideas. I would often use her wonderful recipes or ideas in my own home. So when I saw this book I thought, wow, she's got a book. So I bought it. Yes, it has some good ideas, and yes it had some good recipes, but it's missing something! The 16 occasions, menues, and tables, just didn't flow. And some of the ideas could have already been thought of before. If you're a huge fan of Katie, then I would recommend it, but if not, head on over to the Martha Stewart selection cause you'll be much happier.

Summary: It's a keeper
Review: I saw the cover of this book and had to open it immediately. I have been a fan of Katie's for a long time and I was so happy to see her big orange book. I recreated the entire Hopscotch chapter for my son's birthday and it was a huge hit with the children and the adults.Katie is so refreshing and a real inspiration.This book is definitely a keeper!

Rating:
Summary: Pleasant reading and good ideas
Review: I think that Katie Brown is way better than Martha Stewart ever will be. Katie's ideas are actually her own. They aren't pretntious. I have made the lemon square recipe many time and they are always the first sweet to go.

Rating:
Summary: It's one of the best entertaining books out there.
Review: I was a little disappointed in some of the other reviews. Katie Brown has put together a fine book. Anyone who has seen her show knows that her ideas are supposed to be easy, quick, inexpensive, and fun. And that's exactly what she's shown here. I love Martha just as much as the next person. But I want more realistic ideas and that's what Katie offers. Hats off to Katie Brown, for a fun book.
