 Great for appetizers August 15, 2008
Really great recipes in this cookbook. Reliable CIA always gives great recipes, with a unique flair. Should buy this to have in your cookbook collection. Prices on Amazon much cheaper than going to the CIA website!

The recipes are tasty and very good.They are easy to follow.I was interested in Hors'Oeuvres .I like cooking and have only a few cookbooks on Hor d'Oeuvres. I also like to know how other people cook.Even the people that cook for a living.
 Dumb down version of a classic December 26, 2007

Interested in making hors d'oeuvres purchase - The Professional Chef's Art of Garde Manger. It was written by Chef Frederic Sonnenschmidt, CMC and Culinary Dean at the CIA, and John Nicolas. The 'Art' has a similar feel as the Joy of Cooking and has only a small glossy section of pictures but this book trumps the CIA Hors book three times over. Just because the book has a fancy backer doesn't always mean it is worth it. The pictures are very nice and appealing and I guess for a casual cook the book would be fine.
 What a disappointment October 22, 2007

I expected so much more from this book! There are so few photos, and the ones they do have are duplicated! There is only one recipe on each page and some of them are so unbelievably basic, it's silly. There is no information on making ahead, which busy cooks are always interested.
 Great Book for home cooks September 10, 2007

This is a very well written book by the culinary institute which can be an excellent help in comming up with some impressive ideas for your next party. The book is divided into 8 chapters starting with an introduction to hors d'oeuvres , basic principles, plating and serving guidelines etc. In the following chapters, the book covers dips (hummus, babba ganoush and more), salsas, toppings, stuffed, filled and rolled hors d'oeuvres, terrines, skewers, fondue, cheeses and a few hors d' oeuvres desserts. The recipes are well written and range from very easy to moderately difficult for the home cook, and most of the ingredients you will have no problem finding. Many but not all of the recipes are accompanied by nice photos.
I am charging the book with one star for it's lack of originality. I was a bit disappointed that few of the recipes within got me really excited finding most of them lacking in inspiration and imagination. Not much that I havn't seen before!
