The Ultimate Appetizers Book Giveaway!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS OVER!

Are you into appetizers?  I love them!  I could make a meal out of them!  The Ultimate Appetizers Book has more than 450 party foods and drinks and includes make-ahead directions to help with planning, inventive ideas on flavor variations, and nutritional analysis.  Let me show you some pictures!

 

I like recipes that give you choices.  This is Gougères with Assorted Fillings.  I will be making these for my summer gatherings!

 

How does Hot Artichoke and Banana Pepper Dip grab you?  Yum!

 

This is Mexican Seven-Layer Dip.  A definite hit at my house!

 

What’s a party without dessert?!  This is Tiny Vanilla Crème Brûlées.

 

How about a Sangria Sparkler?  Sounds refreshing to me!

 

This is my photo of the Spinach-Prosciutti Palmiers on page 182.  It was the first time I ever used puff pastry.  I don’t know what I was so afraid of.  It was really easy to work with and tasty!
