Customer Reviews

A Man's Point of View, this book is great!!!
I've never written are view for any website, but I felt I needed to compliment the authors of this book. First of all, I am a regular guy, who likes to entertain a lot along with my wife. I always grilled dinner, sampled some wine or beer, and avoided making appetizers. But we heard about this book from a friend and decided to give it a try.

Some of the recipes are easy to prepare, some a bit more sophisticated, but so far the results have all been a big hit.

Best of all, the recipes were easy enough to follow even for morons like myself and our gang!

Congrats to the authors, and if anybody likes to entertain a lot this book is invaluable!

Great Party Food!
I just hosted a cocktail party and I used a few of the recipes in this book. All of my guests raved about the figs with blue cheese and prosciutto. The shrimp salsa was fantastic. Everything was easy and quick to make. A definite must for someone who loves to throw parties with great food.

I haven't left the kitchen yet!!
I love this appetizer book! Meredith Deeds has such a knack for bringing gourmet taste and simple preparation together. My husband and friends are grateful for the change from frozen pizza rolls, and I am having a great time trying each recipe. I'm definitely what you would call a novice in the kitchen, but so far Meredith. Deeds' cookbooks make me look like a pro! Try her Mixer Bible too, and you'll see what I mean.
