It’s the perfect book!!!
Well, my FAVORITE cookbook author, Meagan Brown, has hit yet another cookbook right out of the park! ❤️This one is her BEST yet!! It arrived today and I could not wait 10 minutes before I had to sit down and start going through it! I have a horrible habit of dog-earing the pages that I want to make first when I purchase a cookbook, and I had no idea I would be dog-earing every single page of my new cookbook! Y’all, order this immediately, and order one or two to put back in your gift stash because literally any person you know, would be so incredibly thankful to receive this as a gift!! It would also make a very fabulous wedding gift, paired with a beautiful charcuterie board for serving all of these brilliant bites on! It is a 10 out of 10, five star, home run!! You won’t regret this purchase! ❤️

THE book to host parties
I previously bought her other book: beautiful boards ... OMG I loved so much that book that I needed all her collection. The books are so well done, the pictures are beautiful and looks appealing and tasty. The ideas are amazing, and the recipes are original, and delicious. It is honestly the best book if you like to host dinner with lot of people and you want to upgrade your regular charcuterie boards.

More sweet than savoury.
As Christmas looms I was looking forward to lots of savoury inspiration for seasonal nibbles. I hadn't realised the book is American with much of the content given over to American holidays and American style food. There are 6 sections to the book: Party Bites, Holiday Bites, Breakfast Bites, Snack Bites, Dessert Bites and Savvy Tips (cocktails and drinks.) The first section is the savoury canapes I was hoping for and there are some great ideas contained within. But the other sections focus overly on sweet bites, cakes, popcorn/pumpkin pie type snacks and I found that disappointing. I've given the book 4 stars as the party bites section has got some great ideas and I'll use these. Had I known how much of the book was sweet/sugary recipes I probably wouldn't have bought it.
