This book is primarily about small size hors d'oeuvres, canapés et petits fours. It is full of great ideas for presentation and modern canapés with a little twist of everything. As any decent book about cooking in US, it is foreworded by Martha Stewart (the other option being Rachael Ray). This book doesn't need this foreword for being a great book to buy. My only critic would be that some of the ideas look great on the page but are not easily "transportable" in real cocktail life (you have to think of the waiters sometimes when they have to pass around trays among crowded mob and starving guests!). That is a common critic for most of the cooking books I read : not much practicability....
For example how do you pass those tacos on lime or mini pitas on trays ? Mystère...
If you like comfort food as hors d'oeuvres, you have cool recipes of mini bun, mini hot-dog bun and mini toast loaf... And this great twist of salmon in the blanket (as a close cousin to pig in the blanket...)
