Martha Stewart's Hors d'Oeuvres: The Creation and Presentation of Fabulous Finger Foods

Customer Reviews:

Martha's hors d'oeuvres transform a staunch deviled-egger.

By mannpage@aol.com - March 22, 1998

I purchased this book because oftentimes my standard pigs-in-a-blanket or deviled eggs just won't do. A little frightened at first glance of this book, Martha being the domestic elitist and all and the cover depicting nothing less than perfection, one quick read-through convinced me that even I could handle creating something I still have a hard time spelling. The book divided by events, ranging from casual to formal, such as "Tea Party in the Library," "Outdoor Barbecue," "Seafood at the Beach" and "Grand and Elegant Party." My lifestyle isn't so "event" structured, with most of my gatherings relatively casual, so I wanted to make sure there were recipes available and adaptable to my kind of living. Early in the book, Martha lists some required equipment, which includes Japanese paring knives, a Chinese cleaver, a pain de mie pan (?), a porcelain coeur a la creme mold, crimping tools, paper frills, etc. Daunting as it was, I... read more

Tastes as good as it reads!

By Robbin Annette Moore - January 18, 2000

This is a fabulous book. I received it as a Christmas gift when it was first published. I read and re-read the recipes, and was frankly overwhelmed. Not by the recipes, but the pictures. So, I fantasized about making the foods. I didn't venture to attempt the recipes for several months. I attended a reception at the Schomburg Center in NYC, and as I ate the great foods, I had a sense of dejavu. I thought, "Oh my goodness, these are the Martha recipes." I quickly asked a member of the wait staff for more info on the horsdouvres, and sure enough, they came from this book. After that, I went to the kitchen, and began cooking.These are some of the most reliable recipes you will ever have. The instructions are perfect, and you too can create these marvelous dishes. To quote you know who, "It's a good thing."P.S. I loaned my book out, and never got it back. I am ordering a new one from Amazon.com.

I loved the WHOLE book

By A Customer - March 15, 1998

Martha's books are not just pretty books. And this one is my favorite. I feel like Martha is right by my side everytime I open the book. Filled with info that I needed from the beginning on supplies , planning, and of course, the recipes. I still buy Martha's books because the pictures are so beautiful, but I USE this book. I COOK from this book. Try making The Breakfast Buffet for your family . You'll see what I'm talking about.
