Entertaining with Regis and Kathie Lee: Year-Round Holiday Recipes, Entertaining Tips, and Party Ideas

Two of America's most sought-after TV hosts here suggest how readers can follow in their footsteps, offering seasonal and general recipes, organizational advice for party-giving, general reassurance for anyone with cold feet and abundant personal stories of great parties given or attended. The book is laid out according to occasion, with chapters devoted to St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving and a baker's dozen of other holidays. So, under ``April Showers,'' find various celebrations of springtime, as well as ways of marking bridal and baby showers: L.A. chef Tommy Tang's ``Nam Chicken,'' and an updated version of a McDonald's Big Mac-believe it or not. Sidebars address ``What Is Fish Sauce, Anyway?'' and narrative asides answer the question ``What is the most memorable party you have ever been to?'' (Regis's answer: Malcolm Forbes's 70th birthday in Morocco, with Elizabeth Taylor playing host.) TV audiences will no doubt snap up this bait. Photos not seen by PW.
