Thanks to Netgalley and Highpoint life for access to this Arc in exchange for my honest review.

This book is amazing ! If you're looking to host any party, it has so many recipes for not only food, but also game ideas to entertain your guests, and drinks too. I'll be trying out a few recipes for everyday meals too, they seem so good.

Love to entertain, but would like a little help in simplifying the process? You’ll want to pick up an excellent cookbook, A Perfect 10 Party Edition: Full Menus and Activities to Make Hosting Parties a Breeze, by bestselling cookbook author and food blogger, Tim Mulligan.
The cookbook is divided into menus, with choices for different mealtimes and parties, including drinks, appetizers, main dishes, side dishes, and desserts. The menu ideas go together well, and the dishes will result in parties that everyone will enjoy.

The recipes are written in the traditional manner with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions that will insure that both beginning and advanced cooks will be able to successfully make the dishes and successfully entertain friends and family. Mulligan adds helpful and fun comments at the beginning of each recipe. Mulligan has a sense of humor and makes this book fun to read.


These recipes Mulligan has included are unique and innovative. This is not a book for cooks who like to make boring mundane dishes. There are so many fun recipes, in fact, that readers will find they are trying to think of new ways to entertain so they can serve them.

Another plus: beautiful, professional photos that show the dishes as mouthwatering and appealing.

All told, this cookbook is amazing! It is one that I plan to use constantly. My queue for “must make” recipes gets longer and longer every time I pick up this cookbook.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

I have never heard of the author, and I have not had a party since … the dawn of time … but if I did, or if I was helping plan one, this would be a perfect book to read. I like the idea of 10 proven recipes … nothing too weird that your guests will not eat and the ideas are easily mixed and matched. Great book, especially the mocktails aspect as drinking and driving KILLS.

The photos in this book are wonderful and show off the recipes well. My favorite recipes are the Princess Leia Cinnamon Roll Cake, Primo Parmesan Crusted Chicken and Aunt Pat's Chocolate Expresso Cream Pie. The recipes are diverse and versatile. This is a great cookbook! Special Thank You to Tim Mulligan, Highpoint Life, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a complimentary copy prior to publication in exchange for an honest review.

I will say Tim Mulligan knows how to throw a party. I love that every party has a game, drink, app, side and main.

My biggest issue is the pictures weren’t great. Some recipes sounded terrific and the picture looked unappetizing. I definitely think a food stylist and/or photographer would help this a ton. It would be a 5 star book for sure.

[Jodi Bennett · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the concept of this book and there are some lovely recipes. It is based upon party themes with lots of ideas, including game suggestions.
Most are not groundbreaking recipes but I like how they are put together. There is a huge variety of recipes as well and that means there is always something new to try. This is a really good book.

[LittleRead · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book has a few interesting recipes, but nothing that I would base an entire party on;. It reads and feels as if the author had some mild success with a previous book and is cashing in on that while the opportunity still exists. All in all, average.

This was so much fun to flip through, felt like I was part of the party having drinks no playing games. There are pictures following the recipes. Thank you to the publisher and author for a copy.

[Melissa Borsey · Rating 3 out of 5]

I can honestly say that I enjoyed reading this book. I can also honestly say that I could not find a single recipe that I would want to base a party on. Just not for me. I thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this cookbook.
