Big flavors come in small bites.

You can choose from more than 75 savory recipes for finger foods, skewers and picks, and sandwiches and sliders.

Give Mini Asian Lettuce Wraps or Beef Oscar Tartlets a try for finger foods, or for skewers and picks, whip up a Greek Salad on a Stick or Prosciutto-Wrapped Pears with Watercress and Brie. If little sandwiches or sliders are on the menu, Mini Muffuletta Sandwiches or Avocado Toasts with Balsamic Glaze and Cherry Tomatoes will fill the bill. You can't go wrong with any of the recipes in this book.
