This is an approximation of how the finished recipe might look.

The cover of this classic.

Recipe follows. I would probably experiment with less mayo, add more capers, and perhaps use a Gruyère rather than sharp cheddar (or use both!).

Hot Crab Canapé
2 cups frozen crabmeat
1 pint mayonnaise

Dash Tabasco
Salt and pepper to taste

Dash paprika
