Complete Cocktails And Finger Food

The Ultimate Book of Party Food, Drinks and Canapes.

Jam packed with ideas and recipes for perfect party food and drinks, this book will take you step by step through everything you need, whether you are having a few friends round or entertaining a large crowd. There are demonstrations of how to make lovely garnishes and dipping sauces, as well as a list of no-cooking store cupboard favourites.

The recipes are divided into easy-to-use sections such as Nuts and Nibbles, Quick and Easy, East Meets West, and Rich and Lavish. Try tiny pastry Tartlets filled with Creamy Brie, Crunchy Celery Sticks with Roquefort and Asparagus, or Smoked Duck Wontons with Spicy Mango Sauce.

Next comes the cocktails to really put people in the party mood. From chic and classic to outrageously over-the-top, this book includes a full guide to equipment and base drinks, as well as techniques to make decorative ice cubes and flavoured liqueurs.

Choose from a thirst-quenching Cranberry Kiss, non-alcoholic Sunburst, chic Apricot Bellini and short and lively Gin Smash for a party that you won't forget.
