Check out her Hors d'Oeuvres Handbook. It's quite good. As for her
recipes being too fancy, I've never found them difficult. She doesn't
really write her own recipes. She's sort of a recipe clearinghouse, and
she smart enough to publish ones that are not overly difficult. That's one
reason why she's popular, I think.
