What People Are Saying About Wild Women Throw a Party!
Lynette Shirk's recipes rival any four-star restaurant—she is a true goddess in the kitchen and has concocted a guide to throwing the coolest parties ever!
— Margie Lapanja, author of Romancing the Stove and Food Men Love
Take one part great food and mix with two parts Silver Screen Sirens and what do you get? Wild Women Throw a Party, the best party book in the entire world!
—Tim Wright, author of Raging Beauties
Here's another way to be a wild woman: eat like one! Politicos can sip soup with Eleanor Roosevelt. Literary ladies, born too late to sit at the Algonquin Round Table? You can still share wine and cheese with Edna St. Vincent Millay or have cocktails with Dorothy Parker (but don't drink too much!). Or lace up those ballet shoes, dance on the table with Zelda Fitzgerald, but don't knock over the Waldorf salad. Lynette Rohrer Shirk supplies the recipes, you throw the party.
—Trina Robbins, author of Wild Irish Roses and Tender Murderers
“Once, I was at a party Lynette was throwing and found myself in a hot tub with a rock band. But, all I could think about was the platter of Pigs in a Blanket she was serving. That is how great her recipes are!”
—Varla Ventura, author of Wild Women Talk About Love and Sheroes
