Tons of options for entertaining

This cookbook is great to have on hand for entertaining. All recipes are for small bite tasting dishes and the accompanying photos are really helpful for what the finished products will look like.

There is an unusually broad spectrum of recipe types including Mediterranean, Scandinavian, Asian, Indian, North African, Middle Eastern, and the Americas. The recipes have varying degrees of complexity which lend to a wide variety of cooking comfort levels. A few recipes have specialized ingredients (example: squid ink) but most recipes have ingredients that are readily accessible at a good grocery store.

Types of dishes include dips, bites, and desserts. There are also a few pages dedicated to entertainment planning.

I recommend this cookbook to people who like to entertain.
