Loved that this cookbook is dedicated to healthier snacks and finger foods. It is divided into types of foods, from munchies, to dips, food on a stick, sweet eats, etc. The recipes are fairly simple and straightforward. Each recipe concludes with a nutritional breakdown. The final several pages of the cookbook come with Quickie recipes featuring fast options, calling for few ingredients. There is also an index in the back for quick reference. Perfect cookbook for ideas for appetizers and snacks to bring to a party or get-together.

I liked this one quite a bit even though I only tried one recipe. It was tasty good and if I entertained more often I'm sure this would be a staple of my cookbook collection. I really enjoy being able to offer and enjoy a healthier alternative to appetizers and snacks!

This cookbook is one of two that I use on a regular basis, as opposed to the cookbooks I just like to look at. I've made 12 recipes from it, and there are at least that many that I still want to try. Most of the food takes only a short time to prepare.

I read this book a while back but really enjoyed it. I found that there was a good variety of recipes. Also the ingredients were "common" and easy to find at the local grocery store.

Excellent book with a ton of options. Ingredients aren't way out of the average cook, nor are the methods. Well worth having on your cookbook shelf!
