“[Y]ou need to be following Barbara “Babs” Costello…From her soothing series of philosophical pep talks, dubbed A Slice of Peace, to her Weekly Rotation recipes and easy spring cleaning ideas, Costello speaks to her internet audience as if we are her own children and grandchildren: uplifting, instructive, and sharing her life lessons.” –Bon Appetit

"You may know Barbara Costello from her charming and helpful social media presence, @brunchwithbabs—now, everyone can welcome Babs to their holiday table with her approachable, family-friendly recipes. She may not actually be your grandma, but with her holiday recipes, she’ll become an honorary member of the family." –Food52

"Your celebration is guaranteed to be a delicious success with these so-simple recipes..." –Woman's World

Wow. If you entertain, or have a family, or want to throw parties, or cherish new & old family traditions, don't hesitate. This book is great. Recipes (I tried a few) are excellent, but Babs' sweet, bubbly personality is what makes this book a real winner. She distills decades of entertaining/party advice into several of the same tips I've passed along to my own kids: get crazy organized before your event; do nearly all of the work ahead of time; and never forget that it's not about perfection but rather family and fellowship and love. I enjoy Babs' Instagram posts, with her infectious enthusiasm for taking the plunge and hosting get-togethers: something that not enough people do any more. This enthusiasm permeates every page of her book.

I had thought that the recipes might be filled with prefab ingredients (the not-so-healthy shortcuts prevalent in recipes from a few decades ago), but that's not the case. Only a handful of the recipes use this type of shortcut, and a quick Web search would likely turn up a made-from-scratch substitute (such as, for example, the Italian dressing mix--but given that Babs is Italian, the flavor of the made-with-mix version must be fairly authentic, despite the occasional Frankenfood in the packet's ingredient list). Nearly all recipes are from scratch, but very easy: the pages are filled with make-ahead tips, and the hints throughout the book are the detail-oriented lessons you'd learn from hosting many years' worth of parties and events of any size.

Highly recommend this book. Reading it will give you a smile, and if you're hesitant about plunging into hosting, this book from "everyone's Grandma" should give you the confidence to go for it, with its tried-and-true recipes and its wealth of wisdom from Babs' experience. As someone who often hosts parties of all types, I was quite impressed with the tips she shared because they were exactly what I'd recommend after years of hosting my own. Great book for yourself or a gift.

Edited to add: I've made the broccoli salad several times now, and it's a family favorite. Her pots de creme recipe, however, needs to have the eggs cooked (not raw); do a Google search to come up with an alternate, then you can combine the two recipes (I used Cook's, but it's paywalled). Enjoy!

This is a fabulous collection of recipes as well as entertaining hints and guidelines. I can’t say I would try all of the recipes as they are not all quick and simple but I know I will use many. I think the photos are top class and it is well written. Many people would have made it into a series but it is one very complete book celebrating traditional holidays. I will Oder a few more snd give as gifts!
