“Danny Seo’s Upcycled Celebrations is a wonderful gem of a book. If decorating for the holidays or throwing a get together stresses you out, look no further than this inspirational guide.”
Johnny Iuzzini, Head, Judge on “Top Chef Just Desserts
"Danny Seo is just like Martha Stewart, if Martha threw parties using an old garden hose, empty liquor bottles and Kool Aid packets. What everyone else sees as remnants of a frat party gone amok, he sees as materials to host a killer affair.”
