5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource for party-giving!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fast and Fabulous Hors D'Oeuvres: A Survival Guide for Today's Busy Entertainer (Paperback)
I have made many recipes from this book and they have all been fabulous. The make-ahead tips are extremely helpful and actually let you prepare for a party weeks in advance. Many of the recipes can be frozen, and they taste great when thawed. This book has enabled me to feel at ease about throwing a Christmas party for 60 people!

This is a must have!,

This review is from: Fast and Fabulous Hors D'Oeuvres: A Survival Guide for Today's Busy Entertainer (Paperback)
I love this cookbook! I have a large collection of cookbooks, some that mostly just sit on the shelf, but this is one of the few that I turn to when I need a recipe - it is almost completely worn out! I just ordered a copy of this book for a friend of mine that raved about some of the dishes that I prepared for a party of 70 last week. This is one of the few cookbooks that offer several different serving suggestions for each dish, ranging from simple to spectacular - and ways to prepare ahead of time. So when it is time to make something for a party, I usually double the reciped so that my freezer is ready for an impromptu get together!

This review is from: Fast and Fabulous Hors D'Oeuvres: A Survival Guide for Today's Busy Entertainer (Paperback)
I just received this book, and I'm very disappointed to say the least. This book is more about sauces and vinaigrettes not appetizers.
