Cook the Book: Let’s Go Grazing (appetizers)

Sometimes the food looks so good you just want a bite of everything. Why limit yourself to one entrée when you can have a selection of appetizers? You can have something sweet, savory, hot, cold, spicy or bland all on one plate. Let us also be honest, it’s easier to balance you plate and visit when it has a couple of little bites. It really is the perfect type of meal for our latest Cook the Book. Bring your favorite appetizer or appetizers and tell us why you love it!
