This is the definitive book on American's number one snacks...chips, dips and salsas. Easy to read and "eat", this little gem of a book is packed with mouthwatering recipes that will have your house wanting Monday Night Football 7 days a week. From Carne Con Queso dip (personal favorite) to Cowboy Caviar you will have the best eats in town.

Salsas are America's number one selling condiment and authors, Judy Walker and Kim MacEachern, provide you with a delightful palette of easy to make and even easier to eat chips, dips and salsa recipes. From spicy bean dip (personal favorite where you can control the level of heat, the hotter the better) to a new wave spinich dip you will have the most popular snack bar in town.

I was rather disappointed with this book. Many of the recipies are overly simple and uncreative. The majority of the recipies call for canned items. The worst offender is this salsa "recipe": one can tomato sauce, once can chopped tomatoes, one can diced green chiles, 1/2 cup diced red onion, salt & pepper. Too bad they don't can diced red onions or I'm sure they would have been in this recipe as well....

I make most of my Christmas gifts, and the mixes in this book will work well in gift baskets. I made some last year and it was very well received.
