"Leva has turned his longtime love of hosting celebrations into a
glamorous party guide book that he hopes will inspire others,
especially those intimidated by the festive process. Written
with longtime friend, textile designer Nancy Parker, Recipes for
Parties features 10 different affairs, from a cocktail party at
dusk to a family lunch... The book's decor, a mix of price points
ranging from Pottery Barn to West Elm, was simple. Leva used test
tube bottles from kids' chemistry sets for flower vases, and rock
salt to display hors d'oeuvres. He stressed that creative
doesn't mean expensive." ~Boston Herald.com
