Review & Description
Are you a huge fan on snacks? Do you hate football, yet you still look forward to the Super Bowl so you can snack on appetizers? At a barbeque, do you rarely eat a burger because you’re already stuffed from eating all the dips? Do you think the Cocktail Hour with hor d'oeuvres is the highlight of a wedding reception? Lastly, do you look forward to hosting a party so you have an excuse to make all your favorite appetizers? If so, then this book is for you!!!
Why did I decide to write this book? I’ve had three big pet peeves over the years. The first bugged me when I was a novice in the kitchen. It seemed that most of the recipes in the cookbooks were SO complicated that you almost needed a degree from Harvard to make them! I decided quickly that I’d leave the complicated recipes to the chefs of this world!
The second pet peeve had always bothered me, but really started to irritate me when I became a mother. Who had TIME for all these recipes that seemed to take a half day to complete? I certainly didn’t! I wanted to spend time with my family and friends, not spending hours slaving away on a recipe!
However, my biggest pet peeve all along has been that the ingredient list in most cookbooks were close to equaling my weekly food budget! I don’t know about you, but as much as I love appetizers, I did NOT want to spend more on an appetizer than I did on my entire Sunday dinner! It was frustrating! So, I set out to find recipes that were easy to make, didn’t take a long time to assemble and weren’t going to break the bank. And I think I’ve succeeded. Ironically, these are the recipes that consistently get raves and the ones where the plates are wiped clean. I hope you enjoy them as much as my friends, family and I do!
Bon Appétit!
