No one knows better how to give a party than Martha Stewart--and as she proves in this comprehensive and visually dazzling handbook, great parties begin with great hors d'oeuvres. Three hundred all-new recipes, each photographed in full color, show why Martha Stewart is still America's style authority and most trusted party host.
It was fifteen years ago that Martha Stewart first turned her creativity and talent for teaching to this subject, when she defined the look and flavor of party appetizers for professionals and home cooks in Martha Stewart's Hors d'Oeuvres. Since then, America's tastes have evolved and Martha's own approach to food has expanded to encompass flavors from around the world, seasonal ingredients fresh from the garden, and innovative preparations all presented with an unsurpassed eye for beauty.
In this book, after laying out the basic foundations and techniques, Martha presents chapters on different hors d'oeuvre categories that are brimming with new ideas--Layered and Stacked; Wrapped, Rolled, Filled, Folded, and Stuffed; and Skewered and Threaded. Whether a classic cocktail party food reinvigorated with her wit and style--chicken salad tea sandwiches turned on their sides and encrusted with sesame seeds, for example--or deliciously decadent dips for crudités and seafood updated with Indian dhal or white beans and mustard greens; tiny toasted breadboxes filled with Welsh rarebit; or savory sips of soups in edible cups, these impeccable jewels are as exciting as anything Martha has ever invited her readers to serve on the buffet or tea table or pass among guests.
Reflecting Martha's favorite way to entertain now--informal and relaxed--there is also Bites and Pieces, a chapter packed with simple recipes for parties that please the guests without undoing the host. Marinated olives, spiced and seasoned nuts, handmade cheese crackers, and spicy cocktail ribs can be prepared quickly and easily in advance and arranged before the doorbell rings. Even the drinks have been provided: classic and contemporary cocktails, imaginatively garnished, are accompanied by a guide to stocking the bar and serving champagne.
Everything about Martha Stewart's Hors d'Oeuvres Handbook has been considered to create a book that is easy to use. The size was chosen to comfortably fit in the hand, in the cookbook holder, or on the kitchen counter. Color photographs in the front of the book help cooks select which hors d'oeuvres to combine for their own parties; the cross-referenced recipes in the back have been tested in Martha's own kitchen and in the test kitchens of Martha Stewart Living; and two place-marking ribbons keep track of both picture and recipe. And every detail has been covered--tips on techniques and ingredients, serving ideas, menu suggestions, recipe variations, advice on party planning, and even a glossary of equipment, special ingredients, and supplies, with a guide to finding them. With its range of recipes, its wealth of ideas, its lavish photography, and its innovative format, Martha Stewart's Hors d'Oeuvres Handbook is simply the most instructive, inspirational, and indispensable guide to hors d'oeuvres ever compiled.
Great cocktail party resource!
| Customer Rating: | | For a book almost ten years old, I was surprised to find that it contains ideas for parties that remain refreshing and impressive even for the most sophisticated cocktail parties. Apart from an abundance of recipes the book is broken down into sections with helpful information which will allow you to combine recipes and create your own versions. I for one use this book regularly in my catering business and never fail to impress my customers! |
more than I expected

Fancy Made Easy
| Customer Rating: | | This book is very easy to follow for beginners and there are pictures of every food. My cooking teacher recommended this book for quick hors d'oeuves that look amazing. |
The only Hors d'oeuvres book you'll ever need
| Customer Rating: | | I found all the images very inspiring and every time I've had a cocktail party and used the recipes from this book I received ohs and ahs from guests who were wowed! All in all, a great book to have. |
Excellent
| Customer Rating: | I got this book out from the library so many times that I had to buy it.
I like the fact that every dish has a photograph so that you can see the how the finished result is meant to look, plus there is a wide range of simple through to fancy hors d'oevres for every occassion.
This book is just full of ideas, and is well organised into different categories. Some people have mentioned that they find the layout annoying as the first part of the book has the photographs, and the second the recipes, but I actually qute liked this as you can flick through the photos and imagine how the hors d'oevres will look, plan the menu, and then get the recipes. For very visual people, this layout works well.
Thoroughly recommended, a must have for every party host for elegant and impressive hors d'oevres. |
