4.0 out of 5 stars Easy and fast, September 11, 2003
By 
Maria S. (Monza, Milano Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pillsbury Appetizers: Small Bites Packed with Big Flavors from America's Most Trusted Kitchens (Hardcover)
This is really a nice and complete cookbook. Has every kind of appetizers, quick and easy together with beautiful pictures. My only complain (that's why only 4 stars) is that when it comes to make pizzas, tarts or rolls, it uses only can refrigerated products; I would have liked the chance to make them on my own.

The book includes

Dips and spreads

Cold appetizers like deviled eggs and stuffed tomatos

Hot appetizers like meatballs and bruschetta

Snacks and beverages, featuring Sangria, different kinds of punches and much more

So in the end I truly recommend it to people searching for easy tried and true recipes without much fuss. Instead, if you want appetizers that you can make from scratch then I'll suggest the appertizer book by Eric Treuille

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, November 30, 2004
This review is from: Pillsbury Appetizers: Small Bites Packed with Big Flavors from America's Most Trusted Kitchens (Hardcover)
If you buy only one appetizer recipe book for your kitchen, this would be a great one. I have lots of appetizer books but this has become my favorite and I've bought it for several friends. Plenty of easy to make recipes with easy to find ingredients that have got raves from my family and friends. Try the Crostini with Brie and Cherry Relish, Crab and Asiago Bundles and Creamy Cheese Spread with Brandied Cranberries. This is not a collection of exotic recipes that will turn off some people, just great food that will make your all your guests happy. There is also a section on snacks and beverages. I love this book!

This review is from: Pillsbury Appetizers: Small Bites Packed with Big Flavors from America's Most Trusted Kitchens (Hardcover)
I reviewed this book along with the other Pillsbury C'mon Over!: Hassle-Free, Hustle-Free Entertaining appetizer cookbook thinking they would have many of the same recipes, however, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it did not. I couldn't find any recipes that were the same. I really liked this Pillsbury Appetizer cookbook, it had a great goat cheese crostini that I served at a holiday buffet with Sauvignon Blanc wine. It was delish.

I also made the Petite Stuffed Pizza snacks for a son's sleepover and they were no quick and simple to make. It was made using refrigerated parmesan breadsticks spread out and cut into squares. I was very impressed with the ease of use of this cookbook. There are quite a few pictures all clearly showing the foods. Every recipe comes with serving size, calories, fat, and exchange information. It would certainly help those needing that information.

I would also recommend the Pillsbury C'Mon Over book as well. I really liked it too.
