Let’s Have a Party!
We’re celebrating our 30th anniversary (1978–2008)
with the publication of a Fast & Fabulous
Party Foods and Appetizers cookbook.

2. Always Searching for the BEST
For the past thirty years, Barbara and I have been searching for exceptional recipes
to include in our BEST OF THE BEST cookbooks. We have sought those recipes that
have been perfected over years of preparing and serving and that have achieved leg-
endary status in a family or community . . . recipes that consistently produce those
“Wow! This is really good!” dishes.
We have deliberately focused our search for recipes that are not complicated to
prepare and do not require bizarre, hard-to-get ingredients, but rather recipes that
deliver maximum taste with min-
imum preparation.
For our thirty-year celebration,
we are pleased to present our
new Best of the Best Fast &
GREG CAMPBELL PHOTOGRAPHY, INC.
Fabulous Party Foods and
Appetizers. This new cookbook
contains over 400 of the best
recipes we could find, plus menus
and suggestions to make your
next party a memorable event.

have both personally and professionally blessed my home and my state. . . .
