Celebrated caterer Peter Callahan knows how to throw a
party. With a career spanning more than two decades and a
client list including celebrities, politicians, Fortune 500
companies, and New York City socialites, Peter has earned a
reputation for creating hors d’oeuvres that are as inventive
and beautiful as they are delicious.
A two-sip shot
cleverly matched to a small bite is an incredible
icebreaker, especially when the appetizer is playfully
served on an edible spoon or inside a miniature Chinese
take-out container. Bite-size cheeseburgers are served on
tiny home-baked poppy seed buns with all the trimmings.
Mango-marinated shrimp are served individually on lollipop
sticks sprinkled with fresh cilantro; diminutive plantain
cones are filled with dollops of tuna tartare; and chicken
is rolled into nori “cigarettes.” And for an impressive
encore, how about shots of coffee with sugar donuts, or mini
bagels with lox and cream cheese paired with caviar cones
and champagne?
In Bite by Bite, his debut
cookbook, Callahan welcomes readers to share in the fun and
beauty of his creations, providing inspiration for
parties—whether casual gatherings, dinner parties, baby
showers, or formal occasions such as weddings and holiday
soirees—and 100 recipes for the home cook, ranging from
savory to sweet, comfort food to haute cuisine. According to
Peter, being prepared is the key to pulling off a
self-catered party like a professional. With that in mind,
he has included a “Kitchen Tools and Conveniences” section,
listing the key equipment that will help you create the
delicious masterpieces in this book. In the recipes he also
notes what can be made in advance, how best to schedule your
time, and any emergency substitutions and shortcuts that
will make life easier on the big day. Along the way, he
divulges his secrets and inspiration, recounting stories of
how he dreamed up dishes that he’s catered for his
impressive roster of celebrity clients.
Full of
creative recipes, unique party ideas, and vibrant food
photography, Bite by Bite is your go-to source for
inspired hors d’oeuvres and whimsical treats that will
transform any gathering into an unforgettable event.
