How can you go wrong with any Martha Stewart cookbook? I have several of her books at home on my overburdened book shelves. They are usually my go-to books when I need meal planning.
While I have made many of her dishes that go on our regular meal rotation menus I have not tried any of the appetizer recipes. This book is devoted to appies but some are so robust you could make a tapas type meal out of them.
These are mostly easy-to-toss-together party fare that have a big return on flavor. Over 200 recipes broken down by the following categories: pre-dinner bites, substantial small plates, special-occasion finger foods and quick snacks. There is even a section for drinks!
The Martha. Why can’t she run for president?

I think I’d like this book. I don’t have many parties except for holidays and special occasions, but it would come in handy for sure.

I’m not sure how often I would use this book because we aren’t much for entertaining but it’d be so fun to look at! I need to make better use of my Martha books. Thanks for the reminder!

Katherine, we don’t have company at all but I love appetizers. Sometimes we have them as a dinner and watch a movie or sit on the patio.

I do love Martha’s books because everything does seem to turn out. My adult kids love finger food and we occasionally make a lot of finger food for a change in pace for Sunday dinner. This looks like a vintage Martha book!

It’s her latest but the cover does give that vintage look. We like appies for dinner sonetimes too.
