Salty Snacks: Make Your Own Chips, Crisps, Crackers, Pretzels, Dips, and Other Savory Bites [A Cookbook] Paperback – September 25, 2012

I love to cook but am always at a loss when finding a good go-to appetizer to bring to a party. When I saw that Cynthia Nims was the cookbook author for Salty Snacks, I knew the recipes would be delicious and reliable. I wasn't wrong. What I especially enjoy about this book though are the unusual and unexpected recipes. "Cookies" that are savory for example or meringues that have finely diced popcorn in them for a grown up version of kettle corn in a meringue. While these unusual twists are fun, the more tradiional recipes are also a cut above. The pretzels taste delicious with the addition of mustard. I took them to a party and they were devoured quickly. If you're looking for a great appetizer book and/or enjoy Cynthia Nims recipes, you must get a copy of this one!

This is a great recipe book if you are looking for ways to make your own snacks to save money. An added bonus is all the conversions that the author gives for gluten-free options in her recipes. I bought this book for a friend that is gluten intolerant and she has enjoyed it immensely!

You gotta get this one! I loved the snack recipes as well as the condiments. This book really shows you how easy it is to make some of your favorites snacks at home plus offers some new ideas that quickly became favs of mine. My absolute favorites from the book are the Parmesan- Pink Peppercorn crisps (chipes made from grated parmesan with crushed pink peppercorn that offer and irresistible combo) and Salami chips with grainy Mustard. I can eat the mustard in spoonfuls and the salami chips are super thin and crispy.Everything is fun and pretty easy to make and a heck of a lot healthier than that crap you buy in the store. Even health food snacks. I'm so happy i purchased this book and its got me wanting to find as many homemade snacks as possible.

Of the recipes that are complete, I think they will be fun and tasty. A few harder to find ingredients but there is a resource section. Good variety. Wish I had bought new.

This little book packs a punch! It is a great book for snacks and other bites for appetizers or munchies for family or company. It has become a workhorse in my house. I really like so many of the recipes but I have a soft spot for the salami chips with grainy mustard. This book belongs in any cook's library. And, yes, you have more room for another book, especially this one!

I kept checking this out from the library, and hubby said to finally buy it. I think he makes more recipies from this than I do. It's full of great snacks that are easy to make. I'd easily recommend it for your home collection.

This book has some truly interesting recipes for salty and savory snacks that I can make myself. I'm very pleased with it.

I homebrew and drink craft beers and whiskies: we love several of the recipes in this book. An awesome and fun alternative to purchased salty snacks (though, don't get me wrong: I love store bought chips!).
