Overview

Every now and then, you need A Little Something. Maybe your favorite movie is on late-night TV and you want a snack at midnight. Maybe a couple of friends have stopped by unexpectedly to lounge around on your deck. Or maybe you have invited the grandparents and neighbors over to view little Susie's award-winning science project. All of these occasions require serving some good food, and A Little Something: More than 150 Snacks, Hors d'oeuvres, and Appetizers for every craving and occasion.

All of the dishes in A Little Something are quick and easy to prepare. The ingredients are easy to find and most can be stored in the freezer or in the pantry to make preparation a snap. Susan believes that you should be able to enjoy your friends' visit. She also provides a menu selection to further help you along, party big or small. There are suggestions for "Poolside Hors d'oeuvres," "Midnight Munchies," "Cocktail Party Tidbits," "Holiday Nibbles," "Super Bowl Snacks," and "The Dessert Bar."

Editorials

Library Journal

Here are simple recipes for nibbles and other savories, sweets, and drinks, many of which call for only a handful of ingredients. However, Epstein's "little somethings" are a rather odd mix. Hors d'oeuvres that were popular in the 1950s, like a cheese ball and pigs in a blanket (made with sausages), mingle with Martha Stewart-style recipes like Tricolor Tortellini Skewers; and more contemporary snacks like a Grilled Fontina, Sun-dried Tomato, and Bacon Sandwich appear along with some dated dishes that didn't really need to be reviewed (cocktail meatball cooked in grape jelly for an hour). Not recommended.
