With little fuss and enormous flavor, transform everyday meals with simple yet creative toppings, dips, and spreads.

Forty recipes are paired with multiple serving suggestions for producing yummy (and healthy!) dishes, from appetizers to dinners. With few steps to follow and minimal ingredients to purchase, these recipes—many of which are sensitive to vegans and those with nut and gluten allergies—are built for speed and ease. Fifteen minutes is the total preparation time for Classic Provençal Tapenade, Balsamic Fig and Caramelized Onion Spread, and Rich Crab Spread. Using fresh ingredients and pantry staples, you’ll soon be whipping up tasty pesto faster than you can say “presto!”

“This little book—Pestos, Tapenades & Spreads by Stacey Printz—is filled with lots of big ideas for parties or just hanging out. It’s never been easier to impress guests.” —Family Circle

“What seems like a small book of simple recipes instead turns out to be an incredibly versatile treasury of flavors! . . . make a few quick spreads and you have gorgeous party food that will make it look like you slaved over a stove all day.” —Errant Dreams

5.0 out of 5 stars Recipes so good and easy that even the hubby makes them.

I'm the hubby reviewing this book. I originally bought it a few years ago in hardcover. Since then I've made several of the pestos and modified some of the recipes with great party results. The wife bought a kindle version in late 2013 to save bookshelf room because this is one book we don't want to lose track of.
The directions are clear and simple. There are plenty of photos of the finished products. The serving suggestions are delicious, and the recommendations for variations are also delicious. The ingredients are easy to find, and many of them are probably growing in your herb garden if you have one.
The biggest problem that I have with the book is that most all of the pestos don't last very long in our house. It's not uncommon for me to be busted with spoon in one hand and the container of pesto in the other and my mouth full. Oh well, that just means that I will have to break out the food processor and whip up another batch. This really is a great book with wonderful and easy recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth the Bargain Book Price
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2010
I took a risk and bought this book without checking it out in a book store or library. I am glad I did, especially at Amazon's low bargain book price.

The author provides 40 recipes including 12 for pesto, 14 for tapenades and 14 for other spreads (such as hummus). While she includes the recipes for the well-known (and well-liked) versions of pesto (traditional basil), tapenade (olives) and spreads, she also provides new, inventive approaches.

I really like that each recipe is accompanied by two to six serving suggestions. For example, the dried cherry tapenade can accompany pork tenderloin, be used as a condiment on a roasted turkey sandwich, or spread on crostini and topped with Brie, goat cheese or blue cheese. The cilantro pesto can be tossed with grilled or sauteed shrimp, tossed with pasta with olive oil and diced fresh red pepper, be used as a condiment for a grilled vegetable panini, or added to a stacked salad with sliced tomatoes, avocado, and queso fresco.

There are full-page, color photos of 18 of the serving suggestions.

The recipes are clearly laid-out and the instructions are clearly explained. Nutrional information is not provided for the recipes.
