Review

"! this tantalisingly photographed book" and "! this is a great book for anyone thinking of having friends round for a drink and nibble. Never again will you resort to crinkly packets once you've delved between these covers." www.thebookplace.co.uk

It's identical to the hors d'oeuvres book by Eric Treuille. Don't make the same mistake I did and get two of the same books!

This review is from: Canapes (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

I prepared a five course meal for eight people, and this book was a great way for me to get people together. They loved the hor d'oeuvres I had made from this book, the dinner was an instant big hit. What I like about this book, was that every single recipe had a picture, so at least you know how it supposed to look and turn out. Everything was clearly explained. The 'think ahead' notes were very helpful, as it saved me a lot of time on the day of the dinner.
