About the author

In 1947 Chuck Williams arrived in Sonoma, CA with the idea of building homes—first as a contractor, later as the owner of a hardware shop and finally as the founder of the first Williams-Sonoma store for cooks. Half a century later that small cookware shop has evolved into a multi-billion dollar retailing leader whose products encompass every room in the home.

This maybe a great book if you are planning an elaborate occasion and what to impress your guests, but it did not meet my need for some simple delicious appetizers at all. All these recipes are complex and time consuming.

Many recipes for appetizers including soups and salads but lots of other interesting dishes.

They have some really good ideas and some very nice recipes. I have used one of them to "wow" somebody that I like.
