1.0 out of 5 stars where's the petits fours?, February 21, 2000

By A Customer

Of 114 recipes, there are 3 that have to do with petits fours. Lots of big pictures, very little good information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy and concise!, February 13, 2003

By	"naturalist22" (Fort Collins, CO) - See all my reviews

I've never made chocolates before. But this little book, with beautiful photographs, and easy-to-find ingredient lists, shows the way to creating exquisite works of chocolate art! I would suggest these for cocktail parties, weddings, holidays, or teas....or making your own gifts!

I truly believe anyone could do this - no special craft/skills needed! And get this: you wont have to bore your family or friends with the same old christmas cookie recipes anymore! equally good for Channukah - or Kwanzaa! Or Yule!

I think it would be easy to adapt some of the recipes to your own tastes as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars just what i was looking for, July 7, 2003

By	A. Spry "dydemus" (Glenview, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book while looking for recipes for tea parties. Not only does this book have a great variety of recipes that I haven't found in standard cook books, it also has wonderful pictures.
