Paula Deen Celebrates!: Best Dishes and Best Wishes for the Best Times
of Your Life
By Deen, Paula H.
With Nesbit, Martha
BookPage Notable Title
Packed with imaginative menus and tempting recipes that add a southern
accent to all of the traditional holidays, Deen also offers a bounty of comfort
foods to celebrate such whimsical occasions as Elvis' s birthday and St.
Patrick's Day, while President's Day turns into a salute to Jimmy Carter.
Review by Sybil Pratt
Paula Deen, the diva of down-home and queen of the Savannah cooking
scene, is, as usual, ready to party. And in Paula Deen Celebrates!, she
gives you her annual schedule for living it up, offers the recipes to make
each event a doozie, has her personal assistant Brandon add a unique
decorating tip (a foliage-lined bowl filled with yellow and green bananas for
Elvis's birthday) and offers "Paula's Pearls of Wisdom" to set the mood.
Every celebration, traditional and non-, gets a complete menu. Start a
special Valentine's Day dinner with shrimp and lobster bisque, try Green
Grits Pie for St. Patrick's Day, peanut butter-glazed ham for Easter and
Margarita Mousse for Cinco de Mayo. Y'all have a ball!

Beloved Food Network personality, restaurateur, and author Paula Deen
loves a party, and in her latest book, "Paula Deen Celebrates ," Paula
shares with fans old and new how she celebrates a year's worth of holidays
and special occasions. Now anyone can share in the down-home
celebrations Paula, her husband, Michael, their kids, and extended family
enjoy at their beautiful home in Savannah, Georgia.
What better way to start off the New Year than with a New Year's Eve Brunch
with friends -- at midnight This colorful celebration includes Crab and
Spinach Casserole and Baked Tomatoes, and finishes with a quintessentially
southern Hummingbird Cake and Irish Coffee. Welcome St. Patrick's Day,
Savannah style, with Lamb Stew and Green Grits Pie. The centerpiece of an
Easter dinner is a Peanut Butter-Glazed Ham, accompanied by
Spinach-Swiss Casserole, Squash Boats, and flaky Butterhorns, with a
bonus recipe for Ham Salad that makes eating leftovers a treat. Looking for
a reason to party, south-of-the-border style? Try Paula's Cinco de Mayo
Fiesta menu, with Macho Nachos and a cool and creamy Margarita Mousse.
Paula honors the memory of her mother, and all the other women who have
blessed her life, with a Mother's Day Tea of dainty sandwiches and
irresistible cookies served on her best china, and fathers get their due with a
Father's Day Boating Picnic. The Fourth of July is the perfect occasion for
an Outdoor Grill Party and Low-Country Boil, and if what you want is a quiet
evening at home, pop a movie in the DVD player and chow down on your
choice of Paula's savory and sweet pizzas. Gather the family to watch some
football and savor Jamie's Cheeseburger Pies, and give family and
friendsthe gift of a sweet treat at the holidays with Paula's Icebox Fruitcake
or Peppermint Bark. Her Christmas feast starts with Cranberry Holiday Brie
and stars an impressive Standing Rib Roast, with Twice-Baked Potato
Casserole. The show-stopping dessert is Paula's butter-laden Coconut
Pound Cake glazed with coconut syrup and covered with icing and toasted
coconut
Paula brings you into her home, her kitchen, and her heart with family stories
and photographs. This time, her husband, Michael, sons Jamie and Bobby,
and brother, Bubba, chime in to share their memories, too. Decorating and
serving ideas will inspire you to use what you have to carry through a theme
to make the most informal meal special. And Paula shares her most private
thoughts in a special feature -- Paula's Pearls of Wisdom -- which you'll find
with each menu.
"Paula Deen Celebrates " is Paula at her very southern best. Join her in
making and sharing her best dishes for the best times of your life.
