Customer Reviews

Who knew?

Who knew that Akron, Ohio used to be the toy marble capital of the world? Or that sauerkraut balls are the official food? Did you know that Akron is the original home of the rock group Devo, singer Chrissie Hynde, the National Inventors Hall of Fame, nationally recognized artist Don Drumm, and much more. I'll bet Junior League of Akron member and Olympic skater Carol Heiss Jenkins knows. So will you if you invest in this most excellent cookbook. Delicious recipes abound in this hard-bound cookbook artfully named Beginnings not only for the Akron snippets, but for the appetizers it features. It would make a perfect gift for anyone. And you can feel good about buying it since profits benefit the countless good works of the Junior League of Akron. I love it!

The Perfect Beginning

What a great book for the home. I seem to turn to it more often than not, especially when bringing a dish to the home of a friend. It has recipes for every occasion and then some. There are fun tidbits that provide great insight to the town where the recipes were prepared. This book is a must for any kitchen!!!

Easy & Appealing

As an avid collector of cookbooks, it's great to have one book solely devoted to appetizers. Rather than sorting through numerous books for recipes, Beginnings makes it easy to find ones just right for the event. The recipes range from easy to just a bit more special, but none are beyond the reach of the average cook. Strongly flavored by the midwest, this is a great book for anyone's collection!

Essential for entertaining

At last! From elegant to casual, over 200 recipes for stunning appetizers that will impress your guests with taste and flair. There's a wide selection and the book is easy to use. It has a contemporary design and the recipes are scrumptious.If you entertain for drinks and a bite to eat more often than you host formal, sit-down dinners, this book is for you. Every recipe is impressive, from the gourmet to the familiar. And if you just like to read cookbooks, this one is fascinating - there are sidebars featuring interesting tidbits about Akron, Ohio, and its sometimes wacky history.Proceeds from the sale of these books support the community projects of The Junior League of Akron.
