I received an advanced review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
It was a very interest book, the bites seem really easy to make and the pictures made me want to eat every single bite. It has bites for every occasion and for every sweet or salty lover.
Thank you NetGalley and the author for this book.

One of the most fun cookbooks I’ve read in a while! This book gave me so many ideas for small party apps for any occasion! I’m talking breakfast, lunch , dinner. It gave me so many fun recipes to make and I tried a couple and they were to die for. Definitely buying a physical copy.

A lovely cookbook that many will appreciate if tired of the same old classic appetizers. A bit too finicky for me though.

This is a must have.
I haven't had the chance to try any recipes yet but as soon as I can get my hands on a physical copy of this book I will be trying out a few recipes for sure.
I have already told a few friends and family members about this one.

Brilliant Bites has so many bite-sized recipes and all look fun and inspiring. I loved that there were all kinds of recipes from savoury to sweet and all the photos looked amazing.

I love hosting friends and I am always searching for small plates that people can easily grab and go while hanging out. This book has so many amazing recipes that are perfect for feeding large groups of friends when you aren’t doing a sit down meal.
We tend to hang out outside and play yard games. So many of these are perfect for grabbing a bite between corn hole matches. I live in the south and it is hot, I appreciate that a lot of the options are light and can be served cold. There are also lots of options that are warm for when we are inside during the winter.
The very first think I want to try is the enchilada egg rolls, followed closely by the blooming onion bites and the chocolate hazelnut babka bites.
I will definitely be coming back to the book often.

Wow! This book is full of so many amazing ideas! I can’t wait to make some of these recipes for my young son. This is a book both children and adults can enjoy. My son had fun looking at the pictures and pointing out different things he wanted me to make. I love that the book also includes lots of great photos. A must have in any cookbook collection!

Brilliant Bites is a fantastic collection of recipes of bite size snacks. There are recipes for party bites, holiday bites, breakfast bites, snack bites, and dessert bites, along with some cocktails and drinks to go with them.
I am in love with this cookbook! All of the recipes are simple to make. I'm not a big one for complicated recipes, and Maegan Brown makes these tasty and delicious, while keeping these simple enough for any busy person. My favorites are the Steak Frites bites and the Santa Hat and Rudolph Pancakes bites. This is a must-have for my cookbook collection!
Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for my honest review on the book!

This is maybe the perfect cookbook for me. I love appetizers. My family does tea parties and so many of these would be great additions. I cannot wait to try many of these recipes.

I wish I'd had this book when I was throwing my last new year's party. BIG selection of canapés and finger-foods, all beautifully presented. Not just party food either - there are sections on snacks and breakfast bites too - plus cocktails at the end! A great resource for creative party bites (trust me, I browsed a lot of Pinterest looking for ideas and this is much better curated than that), snacks and cute food.

You know when someone asks you to bring an appetizer or dessert to a party and your mind goes completely blank? Then you start frantically searching the internet for ideas only to be met with millions of recipes? It's overwhelming!
Let Maegan take the pressure off! This book is full of beautiful photos and delicious recipes to wow your friends and family. Each recipe consists of a "bite" that packs a delicious punch. Some of my favorites are from the holiday category including shamrock pretzel bites and birthday cake cookie bites. Who knew a bugel could be made into a party hat so easily?! Speaking of bugels, all of the recipes in this book use easy to find ingredients that can be found at grocery stores.
Like any good hostess, Maegan understands the need for a delicious "sip" to go along with these tasty bites. She includes exciting cocktails at the end of the book including an orange cream mimosa and a merry margarita.
This book will become your cookbook of choice when it comes to parties, holidays and gatherings!

I received an advanced reader’s copy thanks to net galley in exchange for an honest review.
This book appealed to me because every year for Christmas Eve we get together with my whole family and have a finger food dinner, like a grazing table but fancier. Any new ideas appreciated ! I’ve got a bunch of things I know will be perfect, and I tried out the banana pudding bites and the peanutbutter pie bites both were wonderful, recipes easy to follow. I even have a copy on hold at my library so I can see more of the drink recipes 😊

What a fun cookbook! All the recipes in here are for bite size foods, so they would be great for a party/gathering or a fun family dinner.
Chapters on Bites are: Party, Holiday, Breakfast, Snack, and Dessert. There's also a chapter on Sips (drinks).
The recipes in here are varied flavors, and each includes a full color photo. Some are a bit more towards assembly of store bought items but others are about cooking.
Overall, I think this is a fun book for those who enjoy entertaining or making meals out of a variety of small bites.

Love the cover and title....meals prepped a little differently if your tired of the grind. Mini bites! I absolutely enjoyed the ideas in this book. Little tightly packed bites with all the flavor. I love the idea. I book marked more than a few to try and the unique way it was presented in.
What did I like. Obviously the scale down method feels like a hit for me. Brilliant bites goes a bit further in my mind with some changes to recipes and personal favorites. If you have littles or dinner party plans this would be a great way to scale down over serving. I personally wish it had some freezing methods for a few of these. For those pop up dinners that you ran out of time for.
Would I recommend or buy? I would definitely love a copy for my shelf. It certainly looked very simple to use. I love simplicity and the types of food displayed as well as the really cute breakfast bites for an on the go. I think anyone with kids would love this book. It also had a drink section which you could do non alcoholic if need be.
I received a complimentary copy to look at and this is my opinion.

Really cute recipes and pictures but it all feels a little too specific to be too generally useful. Unless one is throwing weekly events in ones home with canapés, I’m not sure how often one would pick this book up! That said, it does exactly what it says on the tin. And avails of a lot of pre-made, store bought goods that just need to be decorated and assembled so some easy cheat codes!

This book is perfect for people who love to entertain! So many fun recipe ideas! Perfect for any occasion.
![](https://netgalley-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/a15cb8542c/images/profile-placeholder-micro.png)
I really liked the idea of this recipe book. Sometimes to create an idea what to bring to the gathering is complicated, and this book gives you a solution. Somehow there were more sugar rather than salt options. Also when zooming the picture, it was blurred and not in a high quality.
I really like that all the recipients are fast cooking and don‘t require any complicated ingredients.
I would really like to try some recipes myself

Brilliant Bites was an absolute treat! I couldn't get enough of the scrumptious small bites that packed big flavors, and the stunning photography made it even more mouthwatering. The thoughtful organization made it a breeze to plan and execute delightful gatherings without any stress. Kudos to The BakerMama for creating such a user-friendly cookbook!
I loved the added bonus of seasonal foods and drinks, perfect for any occasion. From family gatherings to holiday-themed bites, this book made appetizers so much fun and stress-free. I can't wait to try more recipes, and I'm already thinking about gifting this gem to my fellow food-loving friends. It's a must-have for anyone who enjoys effortless and delicious entertaining!
