Customer Reviews

Well done, but loses a little in translation

This is a good idea book, simply presented with good photography (actually worthwhile in an entertaining guide). My one reservation is that it seems to be trying to appeal to an international readership--all of the measures include conversions--and includes a few unfamiliar items. What are continental sausages? And can I really pick up a package of baby pappadams at the grocery store? Hmmm--perhaps if I swing by London on my way home...

Excellent book -- enticing as well as useful

I came across this book at work and fell in love with it. It was the photography that first attracted my attention. I then tried out a couple of recipes and they worked beautifully.The book has a variety of hors d'oeuvres from all over the world -- anything from tapas to dim sum. I really enjoy the diversity of recipes featured in terms of taste and complexity of preparation.When I don't have to cook or entertain, I simply leave this book on my coffee table which I flip through from time to time to get inspired.I highly recommend this book. It is a joy to read and useful for entertaining.
