Customer Reviews

This book is HUGE!

i've tried many hors d'oeuvre cookbooks and this is by far the best. every item i have tried has been fantastic. four of my friends have bought this book after having eaten several different morsels created from this book. it's a great mix of cultural tastes too -- a variety of italian, spanish, french, etc. my only wish is that gillian duffy would create more cookbooks!

Fabulous

Great holiday and housewarming gift. We have found this to be a user friendly book with easy to follow receipes. Our parties are so much better with the food that comes from Gillian's fantastic collection of receipes. We cannot wait for Ms. Duffy's next book.

First Try; Three out of Three rates a score of 10!

I tried the 1)Raclette Crisps with Pecans, and Basil, 2)Seville Olives, and 3)Spicy Potato-Samosa Wontons. The success with all three were the spices used. They make each one of these hors d'oeuvres special. Can't wait to try some of the other recipes.

A fabulous book that makes entertaining so easy.

A wonderful reference piece that has made entertaining so simple yet elegant. If you want to impress friends with a wide range of hors d'oeuvers and fabulous drinks, this book succeeds in helping you accomplish this goal. I have used it as a house warming gift and for those special friends who have all given it positive feedback.

A wonderful addition to the kitchen,

Entertaining is so much easier when one knows exactly what one is going to prepare. Gillian's book helped me plan in the simplest way, by showing the food with beautiful photographs, and easy to read recipies. I have tried several recipies and they turned out exactly how they should, and tasted delicious. It was exciting and rewarding to get compliments from my guests.
