Format:Paperback
Be warned. This book is exactly the same content as the other book by the same authors entitled Canapés. If you have that one, you don't need this. I suspect that Hors d'ouvres is the title for the U.S. print.

Great Recipes, Terrible Editing
4 April 2001
Format:Hardcover
This is one of the best and one of the worst cookbooks I have ever used. On the plus side: great and easy-to-make recipes, detailed guidance on preparing foods in advance, and helpful, pretty illustrations. I use this book more than any other hors d'oeuvres cookbook that I have, and my party guests rave about the results. On the negative side: Very very careless editing -- the worst I've ever seen in a professionally published cookbook. Ingredient lists will include ingredients that are never mentioned in the texts of the recipes, but that are clearly required. At least one recipe begins with instructions to preheat the oven (and then the oven is never used). Worst of all: ingredient lists which contain plain errors (such as a cookie recipe which gives the amount of required butter in both grams and cups, but the amount of butter given in grams is one half the amount given in cups.) In using this book, proceed with caution.

With this book I am a creative genius.....
30 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
Pick this book up. Good for the amateur, good for the pro. Has a wide range of selection (from dips to wraps to skewers) and is beautiful to look at. I tried the `Sun-Dried Tomato and Cannellini Bean Dip'(pg. 34) and the `Spicy Satay Sticks'(pg. 76) and they both were excellent. In addition, there is a section in the back of the book that describes all the cooking `techniques' used in the recipe section - extremely helpful because it can help the aspiring chef.
To let you know, I'm a music producer and basically invite people over to my studio/loft in Soho all the time for business. In addition to having an interesting selection of wines & ports, I like to have something tasty to nibble on while discussing current/future projects...and let me tell you something - this book has made me look like a creative genius!
Will be used on New Years Eve......

For those of us who can't even boil water!
8 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
I can't cook at all. But, I went to a cooking class taught by the author, Eric. Wonderful, FAST and Simple hors d'oeuvres. Things you can actually do at home and it still looks like the picture and people think you are a pro. Beautiful pictures of every recipe. EASY to follow recipes and advice for what you can do and how far ahead of time you can do it. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are planning on throwing a party and don't want to spend the whole time in the kitchen!
