I always refer to this book for inspiration January 25, 2005
2 out of 8 found this review helpful
I cook from scratch and cook daily and thought this book was an excellent reference when planning a get together for family or friends. Many of the recipes are colorful, healthy, offer texture and are tasty. These recipes can easily be co-ordinated with any menu and many can be used as an appetizer course. This book took much time to produce with pictures and presentation ideas for every recipe. I save all of my food magazines and am lucky to get 3 -4 usable recipes. [...] This book has received way too much hype. I thought it was very basic and had very few good recipes that were new or creative.
 Basic Input Extraordinary Output October 8, 2004

Contained are ideas for indispensable hors d'oeuvres (at least for what I was looking for). The ideas contained are dynamic. The main point to make this book a real winner and the key to its success is to maximize your input so it will yield extraordinary output and good eating for you, yours and all.
 Just dreadful. Buy B. Smith's cookbook June 14, 2004

We planned a little soiree but the canapes in this book were just dreadful. I sold this book at our local library book & bake sale for AIDS for $1.00.I switched to B. Smith's Entertaining and Cooking for Friends and it was just wonderful. B. Smith is the African-American Martha and she is outstanding. I also used Essence Brings You Great Cooking by Jonell Nash and The Ebony Cookbook: A Date With a Dish by Freda De Night. I really enjoy buying these delightful cookbooks by African-American authors. Our son just loves rap music, basketball and African-American culture. Our new friends are an African-American couple and the wife was very pleased when I threw a Kwanza party.
LOVE this book May 28, 2004

i go back to this book time and again for perfect and impressive hors d'oeuvres. not only are they beautiful, they are just delicious. many of her basic building blocks, such as the hollowed out cucumber cups, allow you to improvise and use what's on hand. i have several of her books, and this one is my absolute favorite.
Inspiring, but demanding February 18, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is full of great ideas and has a beautiful photo section taking up much of the first half of the book. However, as with her TV show recipes, it can feel a bit that you have to do exactly what Martha says! In fact there's a lot of information in the recipe section and although many of the recipes are time-demanding, they are less scary than they first appear. It's *the* book for special events.
