    Appetizer/Starter Recipes

    Appetizers, starters, hor d'oeuvres, small plates...so many names, styles and flavors! Maybe you're looking for a way to start a meal, such as soups like broccoli and stilton soup or German pancake soup (with pancakes in the soup!). Or in warmer weather, try salads like prosciutto salad with peach and mozzarella or asparagus salad with pancetta and pea shoots.

    Then sometimes, you just need to eat with your hands! Try easy bites like chorizo cheese twists, and cultural classics like blistered Padron peppers and cauliflower pakora. Why not try some pork and cabbage dumplings, sausage rolls, or prosciutto wrapped dates at your next party?
