The Single Serving Entertaining Cookbook

Discover a new way to entertain--with single servings! Skip the communal platters, crowded buffets and brimming bowls of food, and give all your guests their own portions instead. With single servings, everyone gets their own individual portion (no need to worry about double dipping, messy serving bowls or cutting up a big cake). Whether you're serving appetizers and brunch bites, sandwiches and snacks or dinner and dessert, you'll love this fun and festive style of hosting--it's perfect for small get-togethers, big holiday parties and everything in between. Serve snack mixes, spiced nuts or popcorn in colorful bags or cups, while salads, parfaits, brownies and cakes look beautiful layered in jars. Brunch is more fun with individual frittatas, coffeecakes, French toast and even pancakes made in muffin pans. Dinner favorites like pizza, potatoes and mac and cheese can be deliciously downsized into single servings. When it comes to desserts, the sky's the limit--discover dozens of recipes for cupcakes, doughnuts, mini cheesecakes and mini pies that are perfect for any celebration, or enjoy sensational sweets on a stick such as cake pops, frozen pops, fruit or cake kabobs. A helpful introduction provides basic guidance and simple ideas for entertaining with single servings. Chapters include Brunch Bites, Individual Appetizers, Single-Serving Snacks, Perfect Portions, Savory Skewers, Lots of Layers, and Personal Desserts. More than 85 fabulous recipes and color photographs. Hardcover, 192 pages.
