Summary: 500 appetizers
Comment: I was disappointed that there weren't the kinds of appetizers I would be interested in serving my guests. The photos were very clear, and tips were good, but the recipes just were not ones that I would use so I gave the book away.

Summary: Great Photos, Many Ideas
Comment: The beautiful photographs in this book will stir your appetite and imagination.
Some of the recipes use only one or two ingredients and quite simple, some have more ingredients and are more involved. None of the recipes seem overly complex - and most seem to be forgiving in terms of cooking time.
The primary recipe and related variations format helps keep the size of the book small (about 280 pages). Most of the ingredients are easy to find. The index is complete and useful.
A fun and useful little book.

Summary: Disappointment
Comment: The title 500 recipes intrigued me. I have an annual holiday party and am always looking for new recipes. I assumed it was 500 different recipes, as opposed to 50 or so main recipes with variations on each to complete the 500 total.

Summary: Each recipe is gourmet quality, kitchen-cook friendly, and mouth-wateringly delicious.
Comment: Compiled and organized by London-based food writer and editor Susannah Blake, "500 Recipes: The Only Appetizer Compendium You'll Ever Need" truly lives up to its title with a culinary wealth of easy-to-prepare recipes for delicious, palate-pleasing, appetite teasing, offerings that would grace any formal or informal dining occasion. Profusely illustrated with more than 200 photographs, this compact, 288-page cookbook features tips on how to select the right ingredients and how to make each individual appetizer look perfect in its presentation. There is a comprehensive introductory section on preparation and cooking essentials, techniques, equipment, ingredients, conversions, and troubleshooting. Variations for each recipes are also provided. From Mozzarella and Basil Quesadilla Wedges; Garlic Mushrooms; Chili Cheese Straws; and Spiced Carrot Salad; to Caramelized Onion and Anchovy Squares; Chicken Satay with Spicy Peanut Sauce; Roasted Bell Pepper Salad with Mint and Pumpkin Seeds; and Sticky Glazed Pork Ribs, each recipe is gourmet quality, kitchen-cook friendly, and mouth-wateringly delicious. Of special note are the appetizers that are healthy, low-fat and low-sugar snacks ideal for evening soirees.
