Book Description

The Appetizer is fast becoming the alternative to costly and uninspiring entrées. Many of us love to seek out those perfect, tasty bite sized, morsels as the means of satisfying our primal urges to eat with our hands. This is the "cut to the chase" manual for gastronomic satisfaction. The Appetizer is the Meal delivers that and more. Whether or not you're attending a football or evening party or family barbeque, you will get 27 easy, tried and true appetizers that you'll want to make over and over. This book comes loaded with variety of delights, and enough real substance to satisfy your caveman and cave-lady needs. Forget the scanty thumbnail sized canapés which offer little more than a single bite and continued longing, The Appetizer is the Meal gives you full permission to double that order in less time that it would take to drive to your favorite pricey restaurant. This is a book designed to be fun and at the same time discards the common precept that enjoyable dining must necessarily include the entre and its accompanied accoutrements. Each recipe is replete with beautiful photographs depicting the final product. The misperception of appetizer preparation and the supposed difficulty will be dispelled as you take the journey through entrée independence. We learn to swim to be refreshed and cool so why jump into the deep in end when dipping your feet, wading and flopping around is just as refreshing and in any given instance, all you may need; or imagine being told that a gentle passionate kiss is not enough. No longer! The Appetizer is the Meal is the metaphoric kiss and refreshing pool wrapped into one.
