Spectacular Spreads by Maegan Brown has lots of ideas for feeding people at parties and get-togethers.

This was a great book about spreads for parties and get-togethers and I loved every single one of them. I don't think I would make many of these, though, because it seems like a lot of work for some of them.

This book draws the eye in and perks the appetite with its lovely pictures. Although many of the ideas are very simple and ones that we could all think of, it's still nice to have the inspiration. The book is divided into various sections according to occasion and I particularly like this. Definitely a book that I would consider buying for myself or as a present.

This is so beautifully photographed! The spreads are visually stunning and look delicious. The variety of recipes is abundant and they're all accessible and appealing. This will make a great gift for any foodies and entertaining enthusiasts!

As much as I want my own copy, I really, really want my friends to get copies and then invite me to their parties. This is definitely next-level hosting and I would be so impressed to see any of the suggested spreads at an event.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

I love making charcuterie boards and spreads so I was curious to see what this book had to offer. The cover was gorgeous so I expected beautiful food spreads, and that is exactly what the cookbook contained. I have a few books like this at home, but I like to get ideas outside of the box. I thought Spectacular Spreads had some innovative spreads that I haven't seen before; more specifically I liked the omelet bar, the top your own mac 'n' cheese, and the bruschetta bash. I definitely think this is a book worth getting for creative ideas in the kitchen.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. What a selection of spreads and options for every event. Great ideas, well presented and photographed. A very useful resource for anyone who entertains.

There are loads of spreads in this title. They cover Breakfast & Brunch; Lunch & dinner; Special Occasions; Holidays; Desserts, and Drinks.

The book opens with some helpful sections as, for example, How to Use This Book, What You’ll Need, and Planning. Then come the spreads beginning with a Continental Breakfast that includes cinnamon swirled coffee cake, mini banana muffins, blueberry streusel quick bread, and mini cinnamon rolls. These recipes are followed by suggestions for accompaniments. Some of the recipes that follow are familiar crowd pleasers; there are soups and sandwiches, tacos, pizzas and more. Holiday spreads include one for a family Valentine’s Dinner, an Easter Brunch and more.

This cookbook has many illustrations that may well inspire those who are planning gatherings…once we are again able to do so.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Spectacular Spreads by Maegan Brown is a feast for your eyes! This book is stunning. Once you get past the gorgeous photos, the advice and recipes are just as good. There are ideas and spreads for everyday, special occasions, and entertaining galore. Everything is laid out and planned for you, making it so easy to use and create your own spreads. I can’t wait to try so many of these! This is a cookbook you definitely need to add to your shelf.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point for the opportunity to read this book for an honest review.

Pardon the pun but I ‘devoured’ this book in one sitting

I love how the book is easily laid out with all the information you will need and the basics covered such as planning and the items you will need to lay on a spread.

There are some fantastic spreads such as breakfast, lunch and dinner, special occasions, holiday, dessert and drinks.

I was really interested in the tea party spread and of course the holiday spreads with Halloween and Christmas Eve snacks being my favourite.

I can’t wait to put some of these to the test with my family it really adds something to a Bland party table!
