What a lovely book.  If You Could Host One Awesome Spring Dinner is not only filled with yummy recipes but Maribeth's writing has a wonderful way of bringing a warm, homey feeling to the reader.I have a few favorite things about this book.  The schedule or checklist to help you stay organized is a winner for me.  What a great idea.  And it was derived from the author's mother's own schedule.  I love that family connection.I like the background tidbits for some of the recipes and how they have been passed down through the generations.The pictures of the recipes made my mouth water.  Truly.  They look delicious, the ingredients are easy to find and I found some new ones that I will be serving at our next family dinner.I also really liked how the author gave us a bit of history about the celebrations, how they started and the significance to her family.  It was these personal touches that I found very charming.This book is full of ideas for every aspect of your dinner from flowers and music suggestions to meal cooking options and other ways to make your family celebrations extra special.Highly recommended.  I know you will enjoy this book.
