This is a great book for the "new house wife" or shall I say the "Jessica Simpson" of housewives. There are beatiful, easy canape recipes in this book that do not only untilize many flavors but colors as well. I am a pretty experienced cook but these reicpes are fool proof and easy for a novice. When I have dinner parties and I am stressing out about all the different courses I am serving I can easily choose a few different canapes from Canapes Made Easy and my guests RAVE!!! Yummy and asthetically pleasing!!
