Maegan Brown, the Baker Mama, is back with Spectacular Spreads-50 Amazing Food Spreads for Any Occasion, the follow-up to her wildly popular Amazon editors choice, Number One best-selling cookbook, Beautiful Boards-50 Amazing Snacks for Any Occasion. In Spectacular Spreads, Brown takes the charcuterie craze to a whole new level. With a collection of 50 themed spreads, there is something for everyone.

A Tasty Treat
I love putting foods together for parties and this is an absolutely perfect book for that. It takes care of any meal you could think of whether it be brunch, a baby shower, or even Christmas. There is definitely something for every occasion. I like to try out recipes and such when I have the chance and had fun putting together the fill your own Chili bowl. It was a huge hit and I look forward to not only doing it again but putting my own spin on it next time. I loved the ideas for Christmas and have already started planning my own holiday spread. If you like to put a fun spin on a meal or even an event this is truly the book to have. I can't wait to take on more spreads and adding my own spin to those I choose to do.

spread the love with cooking
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.

Fantastic for planners
I loved her first book and this next anthology is a great addition to her canon. The cheesy sauce is a gamechanger for anyone who loves queso. The Pull apart cinnamon rolls with strawberry icing were a huge hit. I made everything from the Cinco de Mayo party and it was easy, fun, and delicious. This is a great book for those who like to plan around a theme. The recipes are concise and easy to follow. The food is tasty and exactly the star quality we have come to expect from Meagan Brown. You will not be disappointed with anything you cook from this book.
