Complete Spread Recipe Cookbook: Better Appetizers with Classic Spreads

Spreads are usually used for party appetizers or casual get-togethers. And the right spreads can elevate your party from so-so to a genuine happening. The most successful parties have a variety of spreads that look, smell, and taste fantastic.

That is what the recipes in the Spread Recipe Cookbook are all about.

The number of appetizer spreads you prepare on how many guests you are expecting. For a small gathering, four to five choices are a good number. For a large gathering, perhaps a selection of ten spreads would provide everyone with different delicious options. When deciding on your choice of spreads, think variety, such as seafood, cheeseballs, spicy, mild, etc. This delights your guests and prevents them from being bored.

It's nice when your appetizer spreads are served as a complement to the main meal. For example, if your entrée is rich, you may want lighter spreads. If you are serving a light meal, you can make the spreads richer. It's all about balance.

When preparing the appetizer spreads in the Spread Recipe Cookbook, think about the aesthetics. Envision shapes and colors as they create a lovely and delectable variety of choices. For your next get-together, set out a few spreads from the Spread Recipe Cookbook and watch them disappear.
