Customer Reviews

excellent book and totally worth its price

I came across this book when I was looking for a book with recipes that would be more elegant and unique than a spinach artichoke dip or mozzarella sticks, in little parties with close friends. This book is exactly what I was looking for as the recipes are very impressing, elegant and delicious. The recipes in the book are very conveniently categorized according to the region they come from and being raised by the Mediterranean I can testify that at least the recipes pertaining to that part of the world are a good, even though small, representation of the type of food. Many recipes involve many ingredients which are not always the easiest to find and most recipes are time consuming , however almost all recipes on small bite size foods that are meant to impress and tease the senses in one bite (as they have only one shot to do so) are elaborative and require a lot of mincing and mixing and pureeing and all that. The result however, is SO much worth it. This is a book for whoever loves cooking and understands the dedication that good food that amuses and impresses takes, even when it is not a full meal. There is a recipe for every taste or international food preference in the book as unlike most other bite size books I have seen are more confined to the cooking traditions of one part of the world. My only complain of the book is that it has very few recipes, but after all its absolutely worth (and more) what you pay for it.
