I don't go there, because I can't eat the food
While I can completely sympathize with you over this menu and its poor execution, I'm surprised and disappointed at your lack of sympathy or compassion. You're a food professional - HELP this woman make a great party and serve palatable recipes. It truly is in your best interest if she is soon to be an in law! You may enjoy poking fun at her choice of recipes and lack of skill in cooking, but she at least attempted to put a meal on the table for some folks. Many more snobbish foodies or restaurant go-ers won't even attempt that much. They just buy their way out of it. Try to respect her sincere desire to provide a meal for a good sized group of folks and help her to make a better outcome next time. It doesn't have to come across as condescending or like you know it all. Just give her simple ideas for a simple, make ahead menu with true ingredients and you'll all survive the next party!
Tramontina Cookware - Good Stuff?
Tramontina's pots and saute pans are great. I have a very large stockpot from them that cost a fraction of my much smaller All-Clad stockpot, and I like it just as much. It's sturdy, heats evenly and cleans up beautifully. I also have a few of their non-stick skillets and love them too. The silicone handle cover slides off so you can use them in the oven as well. They've lived through years of not the most careful use here and have stood up very well.
Cook the Book: 'Giada's Kitchen'
I like a creamy, cheesy sauce (lighter than Alfredo, though) with chicken and vegetables of the season in it.
