My neighbor recommended this cookbook and it's great! I wanted to some new appetizer options, something more than cheese and crackers, veggie plates, and cheese balls... This book has loads of great recipes that sound absolutely delectable and very doable. Can't wait to try some! My only complaint is that the author didn't include any pictures of the finished dishes. It would be nice to see what the appetizers are supposed to look like, and how they were served.
