Paul Kenny’s Impromptu Friday Nights directs the reader to focus on the most important building blocks of successful culinary entertainment. First, a menu design that delivers on the promise of food that delights the guests. Second, ease of preparation that permits the host to join and enjoy the celebration. And third, successful execution which unfortunately hampers many of us armed with mostly good intentions. In an era of over-promising, misleading complexity, and verbosity this book simplifies the task, empowers the host to shine, and grants him/her success every time.Lucien Vendome - Former Director of Culinary Innovation for Nestle
