At any gathering, it's the most social part of the meal: the appetizers. From nibbles and salads to dips and meatballs, the more than twenty-five inspired, modern starters in this book draw from global Jewish influences.

Rounding out this lovely and informative resource are vibrant photographs and helpful sidebars featuring tips on how to build a Jewish cheese plate, what foods to buy rather than make, and more. With a wink and a nod to classic Jewish dishes—borscht has been reinvented as crostini and gefilte fish cleverly crisped into fritters—this book is a tasty treasure for gatherings large and small from the author of Modern Jewish Cooking.
