This review is from: Tastefully Small—Finger Sandwiches: Easy Party Sandwiches for All Occasions (Paperback)
This book would be the ultimate on finger sandwiches if only there were more pictures. Interesting recipes and interesting ideas. I wish I had this book last year when I made some finger sandwichs for a baby shower. My biggest complaint is the lack of pictures. Like desserts, finger sandwiches are a visual art when done well and it would have been nice to see pictures of the many ways they can be presented.

Variety and Good Instructions, Jan 28 2009
By J. Adams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tastefully Small—Finger Sandwiches: Easy Party Sandwiches for All Occasions (Paperback)
Kim Hendrikson's Finger Sandwiches ought to be the last word in tea-time treats, but I suspect it is only a continuing chapter. Having received a small book some years ago of British tea sandwich recipes, I was eager to see what the American version would feature--and should have suspected that it would not be limited to dainty watercress and cucumber sandwiches.From Banana Morsels to Bacon Chutney, this book uses every imaginable ingredient. I would not personally have thought to use smoked salmon heart cut outs, but it will now be the centerpiece of my Valentine's Day offerings. Forget cookies--tarragon dill cream cheese and smoked salmon are the order of the day here!
The book is divided into both techniques and themes. Knife cut and cutout sandwiches are where many books leave off, but Hendrikson also handles rolled, pressed, open faced, stacked, sweet and kid-friendly sandwiches. She is very specific about which tools are needed for each task, and I found the directions extremely easy to follow. Mine were never as cute as the pictures, though, as it does take a certain finesse. Hendrikson also addresses that main complaint of finger sandwich makers--what do you do with the leftover bread?--that goes beyond mere croutons and breadcrumbs. With all the yummy pictures and the variety of sandwiches to choose from, this book would be a great gift for cooks, entertainers, and anyone looking to spruce up their sandwich offerings or entertainment plates.

Beautiful, creative and delicious, May 20 2009
By Diane Cossin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tastefully Small—Finger Sandwiches: Easy Party Sandwiches for All Occasions (Paperback)
What a wonderful book - full of ideas for interesting sandwich fillings and beautiful presentation techniques. Inspirational for a traditional English tea as well as a great source for everyday delicious treats. I love the "Little Bits" and "Other Bites" at the end of each recipe with ideas on how to modify the recipes for endless interesting possibilities. The author not only provides delicious, interesting and creative recipes but encourages creativity in the reader.Beautiful presentation ideas. This is a book I will reference often!
