Cooking for friends, inviting acquaintances, hosting a celebration at home - all without stress? The successful chef and catering specialist Martina Lessing shows how it's done in her new cookbook, which is entirely dedicated to entertaining guests. Cooking for friends and acquaintances should be a pleasure that shouldn't be spoiled by stress. With finger food and bowl food (small bites in little bowls), this can be done in a simple and relaxed way: the small snacks can be easily prepared without the need for precise timing. And the best part: these recipes don't require a kitchen brigade or an army of sous chefs. Finger Food & Delicacies is an indispensable companion for anyone who enjoys having guests but wants to avoid the stress of complicated recipes that can only be managed by professional kitchens.
