A Book of Hors d'Oeuvre - Lucy G. Allen - 1940s Appetizer Cookbook

Nothing goes better with a late afternoon libation then a pretty hors d'oeuvres. This book will teach you how to make them Jazz Age style when Americans really knew how to host a good happy hour.

{HISTORY}

First published in the 1920's, this revised 1941 edition of A Book of Hors d'oeuvre covers all matter of small plate sampling with a wide array of recipes. They run the gamut from the traditional antipastos, cheese balls, stuffed mushrooms and mini sandwiches to the forgotten-abouts that sound really interesting for our modern palettes - like chicken salad stuffed olives, foie gras acorns, caviar blackberries and pickled lobster.

Even current of-the-moment trendy foods appear here in the form of bacon covered peanut butter squares, watermelon pickles, stuffed kumquats and all the flavored butter variations you can stand to whip. This edition was published by Bramhall House (a division of Little, Brown and Company).
