Creating Classic Appetizers
Appetizers or “hors d’oeuvres” as the French call them are the perfect food item to serve before the main course meal. They are great to satisfy your guests while you finish preparing dinner. They are also perfect if you are having a party. When planning a party you need to think ahead. How many guests are you going to have? Where are you going to have your party? Thinking ahead will allow you to prepare the perfect appetizers to make your guests mouths water with delight.
If you are having an outdoor party and you have a grill, it is fun to make spicy buffalo chicken wings. You can marinate them the night before in a large zip-lock bag and then when you are ready to start cooking you can just throw them on the grill as is. Another fun idea is to make kabobs. You can take large shrimp, cherry tomatoes, green peppers and onion and marinate them in Italian dressing the night before as well. Then just like the buffalo chicken wings you can just throw them on the grill right next to each other. Doing things the night before takes a lot of pressure and stress off of entertaining and allows you to concentrate on the dishes that must be prepared on the spot.
If you are having a formal party you definitely don’t want to serve any appetizers that are messy like the chicken wings. You’d feel badly if your guest’s sticky fingers got on their formal attire. Serving things like frittatas, hot artichoke dip, pesto stuffed mushrooms and savory chicken satay would be more appropriate and elegant.
There are many appetizer types to choose from depending on the atmosphere of your party. There are dips and spreads, finger foods, make-ahead munchies, snack mixes, quesadillas and cheese platters. One of my favorite appetizers that is easy and so much fun for my guests is cheese fondue. You can serve it with anything that you would love to smother in cheese.
