5.0 out of 5 stars Simple recipes, great appetizers, and a good read too, January 1, 1999

By A Customer

This is the perfect appetizer cookbook. Others I've tried to use are full of fussy, labor-intensive procedures that turn expensive ingredients into inedible but decorative cocktail 'snacks.' This one, by contrast, has simple, foolproof recipes for finger foods that look and taste great. The book itself is a charming little thing. The author prefaces her recipes with oddly entertaining notes ("Eggs flavored with olives are tasty, and with their vibrant black-and-yellow color combination, they look rather exciting as well") that make it readable as well as useful. I'm hooked on this one, and am giving it to everyone who lives far enough away that I won't be feeding them from it. THIS is where I give the author credit; at home, I'm keeping it for myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful to look at, wonderful to taste, easy to create, April 16, 1999

By A Customer

This little book of appetizer recipes is written with flair. The author obviously had great fun writing the book, and, just as obviously, has great fun creating her recipes. A friend and I created seven of these tasty treats for an anniversary party - the recipes were easy to follow, and the appetizers turned out looking just as illustrated in the book. This would be an excellent addition to any cookbook collection.
