Preparation Slice off the base of the endive and separate the endive leaves, carefully pulling them off at the base so they're intact. Lay the leaves on a large servign tray in a decorative pattern — such as concentric circles or diagonal rows. Fill the base of each leaf (the strongest and whitest part) with a heaping teaspoon of blue cheese crumbles. Sprinkle each with nuts and top with a drop or two of honey. Now slip into something fabulous. Reprinted with permission from The Last-Minute Party Girl: Fashionable, Fearless, and Foolishly Simple Entertaining by Erika Lenkert. © May 2003 McGraw-Hill
