Book Reviews of Hors D'Oeuvre: William Sonoma Collection

Book Review: A Discovery!
Summary: 5 Stars

These recipes possess all the innovation that keeps Williams and Sonoma not only a thriving business, but a virtual "current events" of the food world. Who else would've thought up something as crazy and wonderful as tuna tartar on potato chips? Or resurrected that old chestnut of using pureed anchovies in a salad dressing, knowing that the fishy taste always becomes obscured, while the fish's salty tang brings out the best in the rest of the herbs? I had never owned a cookbook by this operation before, but I have often copied or cut out recipes published by the gourmets of this company (whom I've come to think of as trusted friends) in their catalogue.

I have never been able to fathom the generosity and courage it has taken for these people to freely give away great recipes in every mail order issue and believe - rightly - that customers will buy products and reward their efforts. I am glad to be an example of the kind of consumer they aimed for. The recipes in this book are worth the effort and extremely tasty! The many photos tempt the reader to try new flavors and ways of preparing food. I am so excited to find that there are so many cookbooks out in publication so that I and my family can acquire and give them to one another for many years to come.

Summary of Hors D'Oeuvre: William Sonoma Collection

Eye-catching and irresistible, hors d'oeuvres never fail to entice, whether they're juicy skewered shrimp with spicy dipping sauce, Mediterranean olives dressed with fresh herbs and zesty citrus, or tender new potatoes topped with caviar and crème fraîche.

Williams-Sonoma Collection Hors d'Oeuvre offers over 40 delicious recipes, including both classic favorites and fresh new ideas. In these pages, you'll find finger food designed to suit any occasion -- from a casual celebration with friends to a black-tie cocktail party. This vivid full-color recipe collection, appealing to both novice and experienced cooks, will become an essential addition to every kitchen bookshelf.

"Try any of these recipes and your guests will return for more."

Williams-Sonoma, purveyor of choice gourmet products and kitchenware, has also created a collection of succinct yet comprehensive cookbooks. Part of the series, Hors d'Oeuvre offers 40 all-occasion recipes that reflect the company's signature good taste. Its impressively chosen tidbit range encompasses classics such as Deviled Eggs with Capers and New Potatoes with Caviar and Crème Fraîche, as well as simple bites like Tomato and Basil Bruscetta, and also includes sections on canapés and dips, such as the must-try Thai Guacamole. Wrapped and skewered mouthfuls are also represented with the tempting likes of Lamb and Artichoke Heart Spedini and Smoky Shrimp with Garlic-Parsley Mojo.

Accompanied by color photos that show the hors d'oeuvres in all their glory, the completely doable recipes will appeal to a wide range of cooks. Throughout, sidebars (like "Deveining Shrimp") offer useful information on techniques and ingredients; a glossary and basics section are also helpful. Though small in size, the book provides an inclusive store of superior recipes and instruction. --Arthur Boehm
