The Avocado and Pink Grapefruit Salad intrigued me. Avocadoes are a wonderful superfood with all kinds of nutrients and healthy fats to fill you up without overloading you on calories.Plus it's not cooked so all the minerals and cell structure is maintained. This means the body can use almost all of it. Not a fan of bread (or grains because of my research and the exposes about their dangers). Thankfully, the author has it as an optional addition. It's not one of those things where it's crushed or cut up and mixed into the dish.The prep instructions were clear and it sounds delicious.Jenny is a knowledgable author. She's done lots of dinner parties so it's comforting to know she's writing and teaching from personal experience not theory. She explains tricks to stop the overwhelm and paralysis which sometimes grabs a woman who finds out she's hosting a dinner party.She also gives tips for stylish presentation to give your dinner party that upscale restaurant feel. I can see guests looking on with envy and asking the host for tips how she did it. Also, she used the word 'ramekin' which I never heard before. Looked it up and it's a fancy bowl.Her dishes are meant to be easy and fast to prepare. Jenny knows her stuff so I highly recommend this holiday recipe guide.
