Top starter recipes
These white beans are flavoured with herbs, onion and garlic, then served over crostini or bruschetta. A lovely make ahead starter or nibble that's easy on the pocket, too!
Delectable stuffed mushrooms are a sure crowd-pleaser, especially when stuffed with rosemary, bacon and cheese!
This is a favourite nibble and canapé year-round, but especially welcome at Christmas and New Year's parties.
A healthier alternative to the deep-fried onion bhajis you find in Indian restaurants. These are baked and exceedingly tasty. They are sweet, tender and very moreish. Serve as an appetiser or starter.
Smoked salmon is blended into a creamy spread for crackers or bread. Great for party nibbles or canapés.
