 MY REVIEW -

I didn't give this book only 3 stars because I didn't like it, it was only because it was not really "my type" of book. There was really only a few recipes in this book that I personally would ever cook. Although some of them sounded good and I might order them at a restaurant. 

 

There were lots of beautiful pictures, but not of all the recipes - a lot of pictures of the Hamptons. Which was OK with me, that is kind of what I expected. I would have to say - my favorite part about the book was the pictures.

 

 

 I think the recipes in this book were a little too fancy for my tastes. I don't throw big dinner parties (or small ones either). I did love all the pictures of the Hampton's. It was a beautiful book, but not something I personally would buy. I do know some people would LOVE this book! This is a perfect book for someone who entertains.

Thank you Net Galley for sending me this e-book for review.
