4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book if you are in the catering business., September 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Book of Hors D'Oeuvres and Canapes (Hardcover)
The Book of Hors D'Oeuvres and Canapes is an excellent book for the professional caterer, but is certainly not meant for the average or even above average cook. When I received the book, I was entranced by the stunning food presentations. On closer inspection I realized that the work involved to actually create the dishes would overwhelm anyone who had not gone to cooking school. Also, the portions are huge. Each recipe makes an average of 60 hors d'oeuvres or canapes. If the author ever makes a book for the lay person, I would be the first to buy it. But I will leave this one for the pros.

2.0 out of 5 stars Style over substance, July 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Book of Hors D'Oeuvres and Canapes (Hardcover)
The glossy photos in this pricey book can help spark your imagination to come up with interesting-looking starters. I found several of the actual recipes, however, bland and uninteresting. Also beware that many of the photos are printed backwards or upside down so captions don't match. While sometimes pretty and pleasant, the look of the food is frequently rococo and overdone--the book doesn't follow its own advice to keep the presentation simple and the decorations in harmony with the setting. ...

3.0 out of 5 stars Purchase Price vs. Content...Bad Value, June 8, 2001
By 
J. Sferrazzo (Milpitas, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Book of Hors D'Oeuvres and Canapes (Hardcover)
Book cover is glossy(front and back). Pages are thick, glossy and heavy weight. Pictures, although color, do not appear to have been arranged by a professional food stylist...assumed in this era. Book gives ingredients and measurements in both European and American formats (grams vs. ounces). Comparing this book to other titles avaliable in market place today, book is too expensive for what you get. Glitzy buy vacuous.
