The New York Times Cooking Appetizer Deck

From casual happy hours to holiday parties, appetizers are a host’s best friend, and with fifty recipe cards for delicious bites, you'll find plenty of crowd pleasers to shuffle through. Just pick a card or two to mix, match, and make--then set out the dishes to enjoy.

Each card has a mouthwatering photograph on one side and, on the back, a simple recipe to follow. Laminated for easy wipe-off, these cards travel well: just pop a few in your bag, use them as a shopping list at the grocery store, and then set them out on the kitchen counter while you cook.
