The stars of Food
Network's popular Party Line with the Hearty Boys
bring their signature style of casual entertaining to their
first book. These Hearty Boys don't solve literary
mysteries, but they sure are great at demystifying
party-throwing. Dan Smith and Steve McDonagh are two guys
who never attended culinary school yet built one of
Chicago's most popular catering businesses. In Talk with
Your Mouth Full, the couple's self-deprecating, natural
approach to cooking, which has made them such a hit on the
Food Network, comes through on every page. Packed with
exciting but accessible recipes, clever how-to tips, and a
gaggle of tales from the catering trenches, this is truly an
entertaining entertainment cookbook.
Featured recipes
include hors d'oeuvres, starters, main dishes, side dishes,
desserts, and libations. Nibble on Gorgonzola, Fig, and
Pecan Cheese Terrine or pass Seared Ahi on Wonton Crisps. Or
sit down to enjoy Balsamic Mushroom Chicken and Oven-roasted
Root Veggies, and finish the meal with Chocolate Cream
Cheese Cupcakes. Talk with Your Mouth Full offers
help on everything from chilling wine to decorating a buffet
table, as well as complete menus and planning advice. It's
the ultimate guide to enjoying food and company.
