Summary: Great introduction.
Comment: In its roughly 50 parts, all written by experienced cooks and cook book writers, HP Books' "The Book of ... Cooking" series takes you to the cuisines of various regions of the U.S. and around the world; all in easy to follow, well-explained recipes.

This installment, the Book of Appetizers presents recipe suggestions for all major types of starters, from seafood appetizers to dips and finger food. Special chapters are dedicated to pork, chicken, beef, cheese and egg appetizers. Classics such as assorted canapes and sandwiches, cheese bites, chicken satay, deep-fried camembert, dolmades, guacamole, hummus bi tahini, marinated mushrooms and artichokes, mini-pizzas, mushrooms and blue cheese, oysters Rockefeller, piroshki, quiche and spring rolls appear next to unique recipes such as anchovy beignets, bacon rolls, caviar croutons, chicken and leek rolls, chicken pistachio pate, gingered fruit kebabs, salmon and avocado mousse and crispy almond squid.

From aioli and crudites to pickled vegetables and yakitori, this collection of recipes, while not all-encompassing, is a great introduction to the endless possibilities of starting a meal - and at a relative bargain price, to boot. Also recommended: This series' installments on antipasti and finger foods.

Summary: disappointed
Comment: There are good pictures showing each entry in the book. The recipes are for very exotic foods. Some examples are egg and nori rolls, prosciutto roulades, rumaki, barbecued csabai and pickled squid. Others are less exotic, but very time consuming.

Summary: This one could be the only appetizer book you will ever need
Comment: I bought this book because I borrowed it from a friend, and I WORE IT OUT. Now I need to replace hers! I used many of the appetizers for my daughter's wedding reception. The presentation of the food is beautiful, and the ingredients are economical and easy to find. I catered the reception myself and my father said that he has been in some of the finest hotels in the world and they had nothing on the buffet I did myself. The recepies are simple to do. Each comes with full instructions and photo directions. I priced several caterers for close to the same type of buffet I did for my daughter. The cost would have been anywhere from $1000.00 to 1350.00. I did the whole thing for under $200.00 THANKS June Budgeon -- you made me a star!
