Reviews"Nathalie Benezet actually achieves her goal of offering little French snacks which are 'delicious but also simple.' Benezet's little bites actually deliver big results with minimal effort. Make no mistake, there's nothing semi homemade about her finger foods: you will bake, you will flambé; you will rinse snails. But unlike other "easy French cookbooks" you will actually do these things rather than just stare wistfully at the pictures, and - with help from Benezet - you will do them well." ~ Metrosource "...newer cooks trying to replicate their favorite flavors from a trip to Paris will be thrilled...most of the recipes seem simple to put together yet highly craveable..." ~Katie at the Kitchen Door "This charming little tome filled with delicate French delights is sure to please as recipe book, luncheon party favor or special token for a dear friend." ~Beverly Drive Magazine "True to her word, almost all the food is modern and miniature, making them the prefect party foods. And lest you think these are for adults only, think again. What may be really small for an adult may actually be perfectly proportioned for a kid..." ~Epicurious.com, "Nathalie Benezet actually achieves her goal of offering little French snacks which are 'delicious but also simple.'
