Customer Reviews

Couldn't wait to get it, can't wait to try it

I wanted this book after purchasing and using "1001 muffins" by the same author for the last few years. It just happens to be my alltime favorite cookbook. I just received "1001 snacks" today and spent a hour drooling over the goodies in this gem of a book. I can't imagine why anyone would write such an awful review for a book they didn't even purchase. Don't believe a word of it! He uses white bread in some of the recipies in order to be able to roll it flat. And if you don't like white bread, use whole wheat. I have no problem substituting at will. So what if some of the recipies are simple. That's what I'm looking for! If you're going to be a critic, at least be fair. Don't pick out a few simple or unusual recipies and set them up as examples of what this book is about! It's not! It's variety! Simple, exotic, tasty and unusual ingredients is most certainly what this book is about. Try it, you'll like it.

I stumbled onto this little goldmine in a used bookstore in Enid, Oklahoma of all places. I picked it up to pass an hour that I had before an appointment and have since crawled through the entire book numerous times. I've made almost half of the recipes as is evident by the ingredients ground into the pages themselves. . .Having lived in 12 countries and half a dozen states in this one, I have found that I love food. All food. Food from everywhere. All of it. This book has recipes from all over the country and the world and most are as I remembered them! All are tasty, even if some are on the "Why would I spend that much time on a snack" side.The chapters are laid out with easy to follow instructions and photos for every recipe! Recipe books without pics are a real pet peve of mine. Granted, I only have 40 some-odd recipe books, but I have found, invariably, that those that have the food represented in a visual manner are those that I go back to more often. Food is as much a visual experience as it is one of scent or taste.There isn't much by way of history, but then again you're already getting more than what the title promises!Why not 5 stars? It's a good cook book. It's not a GREAT cookbook. The author doesn't make suggestions as to alternate ingredients and many of the ingredients used would have to be purchased specifically for the preparation of the snack. This small problem aside, this book is well worth having.

More Than Just Snacks

This is a more versatile cookbook than I expected. There are recipes that can be whipped up quickly but also recipes to serve at parties, potlucks and to bring to work, school, whatever. Some of his 'snacks' would make a meal for me. I have all of Gillespie's cookbooks and I love them all. Buy this book--you'll find a dozen or more recipes that you can't wait to try the first time you leaf through the book.
