And if youÃâ‚â„re going to throw a truly epic celebration, youÃâ‚â„ll need a killer finale like Frontera GrillÃâ‚â„s Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars or Dark ChocolateÃâ‚âœChile Ice Cream. Fiesta at RickÃâ‚â„s offers 150 diverse preparations organized into easy-to-follow chapters. But itÃâ‚â„s far more than a collection of recipes. With four complete, canÃâ‚â„t-miss menus for parties ranging from a Luxury Guacamole Bar Cocktail Party for 12 to a Classic Mexican Mole Fiesta for 24, Bayless has all your friends covered. Each of these parties has a complete game plan, from a thought-out time line with advance shopping and preparation to a fiesta playlist. Whether a first-time entertainer or a seasoned veteran, anyone can learn from the helpful sidebars, which cover topics such as how to shuck oysters, the perfect avocado for guacamole, and the best way to pick out fresh fish for ceviche preparations. Bayless breaks down the timeless building blocks that make up authentic Mexican food, explaining the value of fresh tortillas and providing surprisingly simple instructions for making your own Mexican Fresh Cheese. BaylessÃâ‚â„s entertaining blueprint eliminates the guesswork, so you can let your inspiration run free.
