2,084 Recipes. The Party Starts Here.
Great food doesn’t always come on a dinner plate. Sometimes the best part of any gathering is what comes before — the little bites, the shareable plates, the dips that disappear before you’ve even sat down. The Appetizers Cookbook is the most complete collection of starters, snacks, and small bites you’ll ever need: 2,084 recipes for every occasion, from casual game nights to elegant dinner parties.
Whatever the crowd, whatever the occasion, this book has something to put on the table.
Inside you’ll find:
Dips — hummus, guacamole, spinach-artichoke, buffalo chicken, and dozens more
Finger foods — wings, sliders, skewers, and bites of every kind
Bruschetta, crostini, and topped toasts
Stuffed mushrooms, jalapeño poppers, and veggie bites
Spring rolls, dumplings, and international street food starters
Cheese boards, charcuterie, and grazing spread ideas
Soups and shots — amuse-bouche and shooters
Make-ahead appetizers that free you up on the day
From 5-minute no-cook snacks to showstopping passed hors d’oeuvres, every recipe is written clearly and tested for real-life entertaining — when you need food to be good, and you need it fast.
Author’s note:
“I’ve always believed the appetizers make or break a gathering. Get people something delicious to eat within the first five minutes, and the whole night feels easy. This collection is everything I’ve learned about feeding a crowd before the main event — and making them glad they came.”
— John Joy
