(  ) kirstenr | Nov 2, 2009 |  This little gem has luscious photographs of some old favorites and some new ideas. They are organized by preparation method, "topped & dipped", "grilled and skewered", "stuffed and rolled", and "plated and sauced". But of particular usefulness, there are menus sorting the recipes by themes, and giving suggestions for rounding out the themes, and also a listing of the vegetarian recipes. ( ) poolays | Jun 8, 2009 | I am really taken with this little book of appetizer recipes. Munching on an assortment of appetizers is pretty much my favorite way to eat, and the recipes in this book are simple yet original. The Potato-Onion Flat Bread is tasty and unique; the Proscuitto-Wrapped Asparagus is as easy as it gets, yet quite elegant and succulent. The Corn and Black Bean Salsa Tortilla Rolls could be easily expanded into a main course. The ingredients for almost all the recipes are healthy and readily available; this is not complicated cookery, but rather fresh and delicious. Makes me want to throw a party. ( ) melissawiley | Feb 9, 2009 | The author uses standard techniques to enhance appetizers that range from the basic crudities and cheese balls to finger food that will wow your guests. Johns gives 50 examples of mouthwatering appetizers divided into four sections--Topped and dipped, Grilled and skewered, Stuffed and rolled, Plated and sauced—all with fresh product that displays a clever use of vegetables, seafood and compound salads.. Themes for parties, such as Pacific Rim and Mediterranean, can be easy to make with different cocktails. Preparation tips and party success secrets round out this simple book, making it a great addition to any party planner's library and the source for many good times. David_Chef | Jan 8, 2009 | A cute little book. The food photography is fantastic, which is important with appetizers. There is some degree of variety in the menu items, which is good, as not everyone is adventuresome. While the recipes are good, the presentation of the book is very appealing.
