Mardi Gras is also known as Fat Tuesday and it's the period of time before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. Lent lasts for 40 days and is a time of reflection and sacrifice and those who practice Lent usually give up some vice such as alcohol or rich food.

This book of recipes contains a wide variety of appetizers, drinks, and a bonus section on brunch. Who doesn't love to get their friends together and have fun together eating, drinking, and being merry? These recipes will help you create the perfect menu for your guests to do just that.

The most notable locations in the US for Mardi Gras celebrations are New Orleans, LA; Mobile, AL; and St. Louis, MO. In other parts of the world, Rio de Janeiro, Trinidad & Tobago, Venice, and Cologne also have large and famous carnivals.
