Appetizers/4 recipes

This recipe makes the perfect appetizer for a busy holiday host!

An easy way to create a tasteful appetizer, similar to the way it is done in Scandinavia or Northern Germany. Preferably you want to use wild caught salmon when it is available or catch-it yourself. The usual caveats when you deal with fresh fish apply. Process it immediately. I had good experience with wild Alaska sockeye salmon which is frozen for a while before it comes into the shop.

Quick and easy to make, light, tasty and crispy. Serve with sour cream, salsa or guacamole.

Your kids don't eat enough veggies. Or they just hate brocoli. Or maybe they love broccoli either way you will want to make this salad. Everyone will love it. Great for BBQ, picnics, potlucks and just everyday side dish or lunch.

Even if you don't like eggplant, you will love this dish. Roasting develops huge amount of flavor and gets rid of most of the moisture from the vegetables. Roasted garlic just adds more yumminess. A delicious pasta dish that can be served as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.

With a bit of dry sherry, this pasta dish is perfect for a date or a night with your significant other.

This appetizer is quick and easy to make. Beautiful.

A delicious savory tart, chunks of feta, black olives and herbal crust are delicious together. It can be served as an appetizer or a main dish!

It's hard to be not tasty when there are fresh mint and chocolate chips in cookies. If you have lots of fresh mint growing at your back yard, these delicious chocolate chip mint cookies should definitely be on your "to-bake" list!

I didn't use quinoa flour, instead I added about 1 1 /2 cups cooked quinoa. I used walnuts, also added about 1/4 cup of bittersweet chocolate chips, and the sweetness was just right

Light fluffy and cheesy. A great party in "la bouche" (the mouth). Can be made ahead and popped in the oven when you're ready to bake them up fresh. The probability is that each person will have no problem consuming 4 per serving!

This is a great appetizer, the beets are delicious and easier to prepare, and I used more garlic too, very yummmy.

Grilled or broiled asparagus are tender, crispy and full of flavor, drizzling some freshly homemade dressing, along with some these meaty and succulent grilled mushrooms, another excellent side-dish with barbecued meats. Simply delicious!

Too many zucchinis? Try this galette that's made with ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan cheese and zucchini; cheesy and tasty filling is held by a flaky and tasty crust.

Make your own dip, it is easy and simple, use all the fresh vegetables, fresh lime juice, cilantro, your favorite spicy seasoning, fresh and tasty.
