But Mama Always Put Vodka in Her Sangria! by Julia Reed

But Mama Always Put Vodka in Her Sangria! by Julia Reed

Along the way, Reed discovers the perfect Pimm's Royale at the Ritz Paris, devours delicious chuletons in Madrid, and picks up tips from accomplished hostesses ranging from Pat Buckley to Pearl Bailey and, of course, her own mother. Reed writes about the bounty-and the burden-of a Southern garden in high summer, tosses salads in the English countryside, and shares C.Z. Guest's recipe for an especially zingy bullshot. She understands the necessity of a potent holiday punch and serves it up by the silver bowlful, but she is not immune to the slightly less refined charms of a blender full of frozen peach daiquiris or a garbage can full of yucca flats. And then there are the parties: shindigs ranging from sultry summer suppers and raucous dinners at home to a Plymouth-like Thanksgiving feast and an upscale St. Patrick's Day celebration. This delightful collection of essays by Julia Reed, a master storyteller with an inimitable voice and a limitless capacity for fun, will show you how to entertain guests with style, have a good time yourself, and always have that perfect pitcher of sangria ready at a moment's notice.

JULIA REED is a Mississippi native who grew up in Greenville. She has also contributed to magazines such as The New York Times Magazine and others. Reed splits her time between the cities of New Orleans and New York.
