Storey, executive vice president of Storey Communications, has put together a down-to-earth potpourri of creative yet practical ideas for "frazzleless" entertaining in a wide variety of circumstances and settings. Tops on her list are organization and planning, the use of available help (personal and material) and the simplification of culinary offerings and decor. Storey's ideas are imaginative and useful, and manageable recipes and lighthearted quotations add to the main text, which lends itself to browsing as well as start-to-finish attention. A good selection for patrons who want to host the gathering on special occasions yet have a relaxed time themselves.ASuzanne W.
