A contemporary collection of the latest food trends-easy to prepare, beautifully presented, and easy to eat. From Asian treats to Spanish Tapas to Mexican wraps and Italian antipastos, even pastries... This description may be from another edition of this product.
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.
