Americans are embracing
the small plate craze. They are serving bite-size mini meals—tapas, bar
snacks, antipasti, skewered vegetables—whenever they entertain. Simple Italian Snacks
shows how to plan a menu for any gathering in the informal yet chic way
that Italians have mastered. Here are recipes appropriate for an
afternoon by the pool, a fireside get-together with friends, an intimate
dinner for two, or a party for a crowd. The dishes, which can be served
as hors d'oeuvres or presented as a meal, are easy to prepare, and many
can be made ahead of time.
The authors of the wildly successful Simple Italian Sandwiches
include all-new bruschetta, tramezzini, and panini as well as classic
Italian snacks such as Baked Eggs in Tomato Sauce and Rice Balls. They
show us how to make any party an event and even include sparkly
cocktails. The recipes in Simple Italian Snacks are quick yet incredibly sophisticated and, as always, delicious.
