The forty-four recipes that make up the heart of this book are
divided into three chapters to help you plan a menu of dishes
that are varied in their form as well as their ingredients. In the
first， you ll find finger food that is wrapped， rolled or stuffed，
from Greek dolmas to Asian spring rolls， from Russian piroshki
to Mexican chilies rellenos. The next chapter features finger-
food sandwiches in a variety so vast that it embraces the cheese-
topped Mexican appetizers known as nachos andpissaladi#re，
French cousin to the pizza. Finally， you ll encounter a chapter
that proves how diverse finger food can really be， including as
it does onion rings to olives， chilled prawns to hot-off-the-
grill kebabs of pork and chicken.

NTRODUCTION
What all these dishes have in common is their utter conve-
nience， in both their preparation and their consumption. As
you leaf through the recipes， you ll note that they may be made
well in advance of your party or that they are a cinch to whip
up at almost a moment s notice. Convenience foods--such as
frozen pastry and filo doughs and canned chicken stock--
make the work easier and quicker still.
The range of recipes promotes creativity in your entertammg.
As the menus only begin to suggest， there are enough choices
to allow you to compose a menu based on a seasonal theme， a
special occasion or a kind of food that you or guests might
particularly enjoy. A menu can give rise to ideas for decorative
themes and other ways to set the mood， which you ll find dis-
cussed on pages 18-19.
This book frees you to pay attention to the other details of
your party. With finger food， easy entertaining can be--quite
literally--at your fingertips
