This is a cookbook and entertaining book. Beautiful photographs! Nice stories to go along with the photos. A few great recipes for us novices and some helpful party ideas, but overall not for the everyday cook/entertainer.

This lovely hard back book has so many imaginative ideas and recipes inside for celebrating with your family all year long. I was surprised at all the beautiful color pictures inside showing off recipes and party decorations.

I was surprised at all the beautiful color pictures inside showing off recipes and party decorations.

The book is broken up into seasons Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter each section has four or five party ideas. I was very impressed by the Easter Egg Hunt and Mother's Day Tea Party are over the top. This is an idea book with yummy recipes inside. The reader can take bits and pieces of the total party layout and make it their own. Some of the recipes I'd like to try in that section are Hummingbird Cake, Sarah Darling's Tiffany Vanilla Macaroons, Lemon Whoopie Pies with Lavender Icing and Easter Bunny cupcakes.Each one of these have a gorgeous picture of food, deserts and salads. She even includes a few gluten-free recipes.

One of the recipes that blew me away was the ones for the milkshake social. They are s'mores, strawberry sweet tooth and peanut butter pretzel milkshakes. Each of these look like amazing; you'd most definitely need help eating them. The book includes comfort food favorites Southern Skillet Cream biscuits, Popovers, Chicken Pot Pie, Lasagna, Pot roast and more.

The recipe I made was for Salted Oatmeal Cornflake Cookies; my family loved them. The ingredients are easy to find, her instructions simple to follow and each recipe has a make it ahead option. I highly recommend this book as a special gift and/or to use yourself.

Gorgeous. Stunning. Inspiring. Picture-perfect. These adjectives, and so many more, accurately describe a beautiful new party-planning cookbook entitled “So Much to Celebrate: Entertaining the Ones You Love the Whole Year Through”. Written by Katie Jacobs of the food and lifestyle blog “Styling My Everyday”, and published by Thomas Nelson, this volume is so much more than a cookbook. . . It is a work of art that will inspire you to “create meaningful, extraordinary celebrations that foster Gorgeous. Stunning. Inspiring. Picture-perfect. These adjectives, and so many more, accurately describe a beautiful new party-planning cookbook entitled “So Much to Celebrate: Entertaining the Ones You Love the Whole Year Through”. Written by Katie Jacobs of the food and lifestyle blog “Styling My Everyday”, and published by Thomas Nelson, this volume is so much more than a cookbook. . . It is a work of art that will inspire you to “create meaningful, extraordinary celebrations that foster lifelong memories with the ones you love.”

When I first received my copy of “So Much to Celebrate” in the mail, I was delighted at how large, high-quality, and visually appealing it is. Dozens or even hundreds of professional photos of food and decor grace the glossy pages, and a ribbon bookmark allows you to mark your next recipe with pretty style! The recipes and party inspirations are arranged by season, with menus, decorating tips and more for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter - and of course gorgeous pictures to accompany each idea. Just a sampling of the various party inspirations (that I’m most excited to try!) include: Fairy-Tale Fern White Linen Luncheon, Backyard Movie Night, Milkshake Social, Harvest Picnic, and Gingerbread House Decorating Party.

This book is all about how “Living life with joy and gratitude alongside the people you love makes every day special and worthy of celebration”. One beautiful way to celebrate is by the planning for and preparation of healthy and delicious food, and that is a focal point of “So Much to Celebrate”. . . scrumptious recipes! I have found several that I can hardly wait to try (and just need to track down a few ingredients for), including Fish Tacos with Grilled Corn Slaw and Strawberry Mango Salsa, Popovers with Gruyere and Chives, Peach Caprese Salad, and Smoked Brisket Chili. The one downfall of some of these recipes (for me, but for others it may not be an issue) is that in many of them Katie does not hesitate to use large amounts of sugar - an ingredient that I try to limit or avoid in my cooking and baking. Overall, however, “So Much to Celebrate” contains a wonderful variety of new dishes to try, so there will unquestionably be something to suit every palate.

In the end, I am delighted with this lovely new book from Katie Jacobs. Most importantly, it is “a book that is not only beautiful but is also a guide to creating lifelong memories with your family and friends - inspiration to encourage more parties, more togetherness, more celebrations. It is (Katie’s) hope that the family suppers, holiday parties, and informal gatherings found in these pages will inspire you to live a little more life together with the ones you love.”

Gorgeous! This book is beautiful on the inside. One look on the cover, and you know you can't wait to open up the pages of this bright and inviting book. The hardcover book makes it a lovely coffee table piece. Besides it's beautiful look, it's also a great weight for a cookbook, but not overwhelming in length or pages. It's a must for the kitchen!

This is one of those books that you can pull out on a rainy day and turn the pages for inspiration or if you're throwing a party together and you need some inspiration, look no further! This book isn't your typical holidays or birthdays book, but rather fun and unique events like a milkshake social, movie night or pie party. They are unique and different. However, the party ideas and recipes are broken into seasons, but have a paragraph with photos underneath.

I think this is a fun resource for parties, especially if you like cool books and need inspiring ideas. This book has unique variety with great presentation. I recommend picking up this book if you are party planner or love to throw fun gatherings. This would be great to have on hand for summer.

Because Jacobs is able to envision bringing all three together as an expression of our love and care. There are plenty of inspiring ideas here, but it's Jacobs' advice about planning (and preparing) ahead that I found the most helpful. We all know that entertaining these days -- amidst all the hectic daily living -- can be difficult. Jacobs not only relieves a good bit of that difficulty, but does so in amazing ways.


This is a must-have resource for every kitchen.

I love reading books like this! They are colorful easy to read and it is fun to imagine how I might decorate or plan for an event/party. The best part of this book are the unique recipes for food and drink I would never think of making. They look delicious and offer a fresh perspective on snacks and such. A lot of this book didn't seem quite practical to me, but others will love it more than me. This would make a great gift to someone or if you are needing a new idea! Compared to other

Beautiful pictures and some recipes to try. Wide variety with a recipe for brown butter Rice Krispie treats that is basically Rice Krispie treats to a peanut butter pretzel milkshake which is more for the Instagram pic than really consuming. The pot roast recipe looks good and the fruit Popsicle as the swizzle stick in a sparkling white wine looks great.

I like her ideas for a milkshake party at summer’s end and a rustic pie party. The whiskey tasting party was also well done. Some really great recipes, too!
