  This book is a must-have for easy entertaining. Every recipe is a hit. Popeye poppers, chevre champignons, sinful spuds, and fig tapenade have become staples at my house.

  LOVE this book. Great for parties...recipes easy to double, triple for big parties. I've used Oink!, Chevre Champignons, Sorry Charlie, Polenta Sunrise and Dehli Blues for a party of 120 guests, two times and been very happy with the results.

    Delicious hors d'oeuvres which can be made ahead.

    A nice, light appetizer. I've made the dipping sauce with dill (fresh or dried) when I don't have tarragon. The sauce is also great as a spread with smoked salmon and/or roe.
