This cookbook has lots of wonderful pictures of their food which is what I look for in a cookbook.  I like to know what my recipes are supposed to look like when they are finished.  There are some recipes that seem more complicated than they need to be, but lots of the recipes are quick and easy to throw together for a party or a quick, light meal.  My favorite chapter was the Lighter Bites" chapter.  There were lots of salads, but I mostly like that they seemed fresh and simple.This cookbook has lots of wonderful pictures of their food which is what I look for in a cookbook.  I like to know what my recipes are supposed to look like when they are finished.  There are some recipes that seem more complicated than they need to be, but lots of the recipes are quick and easy to throw together for a party or a quick, light meal.  My favorite chapter was the "Lighter Bites" chapter.  There were lots of salads, but I mostly like that they seemed fresh and simple."… (plus d'informations)

This is a mall book w/ nice photos & easy to follow/prepare recipes. There isn't a lot of content but what there is makes for refreshingly different snacks. I'm sure that if there was someone to cook for, besides myself, I'd make many of these dishes.

Contents include: Introduction; Mouthwatering Morsels; TV Snacks; Lighter Bites; Food on the Go; and Index.

Mouthwatering Morsels: Chicken nuggets; Miniature beef kabobs; Greecian meatballs; Fish goujons w/ garlic mayonnaise; Mushroon bites w/ aioli; Apple fritters; and Spicy marinated olives (you could use more than olives here).

TV Snacks: Miniature ham & pineapple pizzas (using English muffins); Classic spare ribs; Chicken satay; Thai style fish cakes; egg fried rice; Homemade oven fries; and Chocolate popcorn.

Lighter Bites: Parma ham w/ melon & asparagus; Cajun chicken salad; Tomato, salmon & shrimp salad; Mixed vegetable bruschetta; Three color salad (mozzarella & tomato slices w/ fresh basil); Red cabbage slaw; and Fruit skewers.

Food on the Go: Rolled cheese & bean quesadiillas (you can mix & add other ingredients); Chicken liver pate; Hummus w/ crudites; Spanish omelet; Sticky fruit oat squares; and Blueberry bran muffins.

I'm thinking this would even be a nice cookbook for a teen who is just beginning to be interested in cooking..... The book is metric and u.s. measures, milk is low-fat, & eggs are medium sized.… (plus d'informations)
