Bite by Bite

de Peter Callahan, Raquel Pelzel

Peter Callahan invented high-end party food as we know it. Now, he shares his secrets. In Bite by Bite, Peter invites readers to enter his world of whimsy and wit, where tuna tartare becomes an ice cream cone, shrimp cocktail becomes lollipops, and frites are served next to mini sliders. In Peter's world, cotton candy has left the carnival and arrives in miniature on Park Avenue and comfort food is dwarfed to perfection with Lilliputian versions of grilled cheese, cheeseburgers, and spaghetti and meatballs. There are 100 recipes, all accompanied by vibrant food photography, ranging from savory to sweet and haute cuisine to comfort food, and variations, tips, and shortcuts to make and present food and drink. In his debut cookbook, Peter simplifies his catering style and makes his recipes achievable for the home cook, divulging along the way his secrets and inspiration, including stories of how he dreamed up dishes that he's catered for his long roster of celebrity clients. - Publisher.
