The holidays really seem to have taken over in our house. Although I
grew up in a half Jewish household, we've always had a Christmas tree -
there's something so festive about decorating a tree, and for me it's
just a symbol of taking the time to reunite with family.
Being here in Toronto and an ocean away from my family in France, it's small traditions like these that make this month of the year feel special (albeit a little stressful at times!). After a trip to Toronto's Christmas market in the Distillery district, I can feel the countdown to a lovely holiday dinner approach. I'm still etching out my final menu. but I know there will be figs, chocolate and good cheese involved!  |

I love all tiny foods and am kind of surprised I didn't come up with this book idea! Stuffed mushrooms, mini caprese skewers, anything that can be called a shooter, and of course mini desserts like tartlets.
Mmm...I think I love tiny tartlets the best because you can try more than one dessert!
I've gotta be honest, I LOVE mozzarella sticks... do those count?
great giveaway! thanks for the chance!

Chocolates, truffles, with or without peanut butter, fudge, brittle... Do you see the trend?
I've lived in Toronto all my life and I have no idea where the distellery district is!!! Looks pretty...must make a trip soon..
My favourite has to be samosas!
My mom makes these homemade veggies rolls with soft flour tortillas, cream cheese spread, and chopped veggies that are my favorite finger food!
My fav little party food is caprese salad skewers - you skewer basil, little mozzarella balls, and cherry tomatoes, and then dip in balsamic vinaigrette. Fun and delicious!
i love "pigs in a blanket" (mini hot dogs wrapped in puff pastry) and spanikopita! they remind me of holidy parties when i was little. :)
I love Brazilian cheese bread. And tiny pettit fours.
I love Brazilian cheese bread and this book looks amazing!
Definitely anything that gets dipped in hot cheese!
I love cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon!
Mini quiches!
Good morning.... my favourite finger food.... I think that a well done stuffed mushroom is it. Our family loves them so they usually are the first to go.
I like a platter of cheese and pâté for appetizer. Nice giveaway
i like little quiches or I also like a hummus dip with fresh veggies or I alike small spinach balls.

Many, I have to pick just one? Cheese. Sushi. Charcuterie. Sweet pickle and cream cheese rolls. Brie tarts. I could keep going for hours!
I love fancy cheeses with crackers!

I find all kinds of miniature finger foods fascinating. However, I personally like simple things. Crackers with cheese, some wine and I am happy.
Deviled eggs. I am OBSESSED with deviled eggs!
I love those tiny cocktail meatballs that you make in the crock pot! They only ever come around during the holidays, which is one of the many reasons I love this time of the year.
Tiny tomato, bit of mozzarella and basil leaf threaded on a pick and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. A platter of these are pretty, easy and go over very well with a crowd!
I am overly fond of cheese and crackers!
I agree with someone above- devilled eggs! They're the best. So basic and so good!
i love ANY dessert!!! <3 :)
I hosted an amuse bouche party last year and am game for any bite-sized treat. But I lean towards the savory,though I think that my lavender truffles were the hit of the party.
I would love to have this book because I make finger food each week for our Friday glass of wine but I live in New Zealand so that's me out.

Id love to win!!!
I am always amazed with tiny food items, as it has to bring the same satisfaction of eating a larger portion.
My favorite type of tiny food is petit fours.
Deviled eggs!
i really really enjoy things made with cheese! almost anything really.... but if i had to pick one at this moment it would be cream cheese wantons.
i really love things made with cheese. i know, there are so many things, but if i had to pick right at this moment, i would say cream cheese wantons
I love the distillery district at Christmas! Last year I went down to hear my friend's daughter sing in a choir, and it was just magical. And the tree is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
