1.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed, January 26, 2001

By	"[e-mail]" (Sun Valley, ID USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Finger Food (Hardcover)

I made five "recipes" from the book for a party, and not one was remotely fabulous. I will look through the book one more time to see if there's anything that looks interesting, and if not, take it to the resale shop (probably with a note that I wasn't impressed).

4.0 out of 5 stars I wholly disagree..., April 16, 2001

By	Deirdra Harris Glover "PunkRock Yogini, Kitch... (Wilds of Mississippi) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Finger Food (Hardcover)

I found the book's recipes sound (some I would make, others not in a million years--much like any cookbook), but the author really outdoes herself on presentation. You could buy the book strictly for aesthetic tips and get your money's worth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Essentially boring, September 11, 2006

By	Justine O. Calverley "IslandMeg" (Kailua-Kona, HI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Finger Food: Bite-Size Food for Cocktail Parties (Hardcover)

A very 'pretty' book but nothing very new in terms of recipes. And I didn't find the recipes very exciting or innovative. Almost more a 'coffee table' book than a cookbook.
