Title: When's the last time you saw this many 5-star reviews on a cookbook? Deservedly so.
Review: Wow. If you entertain, or have a family, or want to throw parties, or cherish new & old family traditions, don't hesitate. This book is great. Recipes (I tried a few) are excellent, but Babs' sweet, bubbly personality is what makes this book a real winner. She distills decades of entertaining/party advice into several of the same tips I've passed along to my own kids: get crazy organized before your event; do nearly all of the work ahead of time; and never forget that it's not about perfection but rather family and fellowship and love. I enjoy Babs' Instagram posts, with her infectious enthusiasm for taking the plunge and hosting get-togethers: something that not enough people do any more. This enthusiasm permeates every page of her book.I had thought that the recipes might be filled with prefab ingredients (the not-so-healthy shortcuts prevalent in recipes from a few decades ago), but that's not the case. Only a handful of the recipes use this type of shortcut, and a quick Web search would likely turn up a made-from-scratch substitute (such as, for example, the Italian dressing mix--but given that Babs is Italian, the flavor of the made-with-mix version must be fairly authentic, despite the occasional Frankenfood in the packet's ingredient list). Nearly all recipes are from scratch, but very easy: the pages are filled with make-ahead tips, and the hints throughout the book are the detail-oriented lessons you'd learn from hosting many years' worth of parties and events of any size.Highly recommend this book. Reading it will give you a smile, and if you're hesitant about plunging into hosting, this book from "everyone's Grandma" should give you the confidence to go for it, with its tried-and-true recipes and its wealth of wisdom from Babs' experience. As someone who often hosts parties of all types, I was quite impressed with the tips she shared because they were exactly what I'd recommend after years of hosting my own. Great book for yourself or a gift.Edited to add: I've made the broccoli salad several times now, and it's a family favorite. Her pots de creme recipe, however, needs to have the eggs cooked (not raw); do a Google search to come up with an alternate, then you can combine the two recipes (I used Cook's, but it's paywalled). Enjoy!

Title: A simple, yet delightful cookbook
Review: I follow the author on Instagram. I have about a million cookbooks and I’m a boomer, so I didn’t really look into the cookbook. But then I was reminded of it, so checked into it and purchased it. I already made the east bean recipe, a hit for sure. This book reminds me of the old cookbooks put together by the church ladies in the 60’s and 70’s. Like you could get Mildred’s tuna surprise recipe or Lois’s pound cake. So I find this cookbook very charming. Highly recommend.

Title: Easter with Babs
Review: Brunch with Babs cookbook was a wonderful purchase. After following her on IG and making many of her recipes I quickly pre-ordered her cookbook knowing that it would be filled with great recipes that my family and friends would love. Yesterday I made Eileen’s Strawberry Salad under the Easter holiday section. The recipe was so easy to follow and the end product looked beautiful on our Easter table. The crunchy topping is so good I could eat that alone. The dressing is very tasty and will make it again just to put on my lunch salads. My step-son asked for the dressing today to use for his dinner salad over his Paul Newman fav. I have 3 step-son’s in there early 20’s who do not like to try new things. When I explained what was in the salad they were hesitant since it contains roasted ramen noodles. After a bite they were pleasantly surprised how delicious it was and asked for seconds. My mother-in-law who is basically a gourmet chef loved it too! Today I had it for lunch and it was beyond delicious today. I will be making this again for summer parties. So fresh and light this in my new favorite salad. Thank you Babs for making a wonderful cookbook. I love how the book is sectioned off by the holiday very clever and convenient. Can’t wait to try other recipes. ❤️

Title: Every bride needs this book!
Review: This is a fabulous collection of recipes as well as entertaining hints and guidelines. I can’t say I would try all of the recipes as they are not all quick and simple but I know I will use many. I think the photos are top class and it is well written. Many people would have made it into a series but it is one very complete book celebrating traditional holidays. I will Oder a few more snd give as gifts!
