Recommended Reading: I rarely entertain guests, but thanks to this book, now I can do it in style. My boyfriend invited several of his coworkers over for a
cocktail party and I dazzled them with my wonderful, good tasting finger foods, hot and cold appetizers and pastas. They were all easy to
make and fast, they looked so pretty and didn't last at all. This book has well over 100 different easy to make recipes, some of the wives
are calling me and asking for my recipes... (courtesy: Amazon)
