Appetizers are a great way to begin a meal. They get your tastebuds in the mood for food, and you can get really creative with different kinds of appetizers. Here are some ideas for tasty and easy dishes to start your meal.

Caprese Salad

This is ideal for a fresh and light appetizer that is still full of flavor. Slice some tomatoes and tear up some fresh mozzarella and basil. Throw these all together and drizzle over some extra virgin olive oil, some sea salt, and some balsamic vinegar. This is delicious by itself, or you can put some crusty bread on the side to make it more substantial.

Miso Soup

This light and tasty soup is the perfect start to your meal and is easy to make. Just heat some veg stock in a pan. In a little bowl add some miso paste and then some hot water and stir until dissolved and then add this to the veg stock. At this point, you can also add some greens and even tofu to make it more interesting, or keep it as a simple miso broth. Add some nori (seaweed) and continue to gently heat for 5-10 minutes, and then serve immediately. 

Houmous and Veg

Just blitz up some chickpeas with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and some crushed garlic. This is perfect paired with some sliced carrot, pepper, or celery. Or use breadsticks for a more filling version.

Making your own cheeseboard at home is such a fun activity and it’s a beautiful centerpiece at any party. But, if you’re having trouble finding out where to start, this is the guide for you.

Cheeses

When you pick the cheeses for your cheeseboard, keep in mind that you should have somewhat of a safe option that you know everyone will like, such as cheddar. But, once you have that, you can go with more adventurous cheese like goat cheese, sheep’s milk cheese, or whatever you like.

Fruits

It’s always nice to have some sort of fruit on a cheeseboard because everything else is usually very salty, so the fruit brings some relief to it. You can stick with the classic selection of grapes, or use seasonal berries, or citrus!

Meats

If you aren’t vegetarian, it’s fun to add in some charcuterie or dried meats to the board as well. When you pick your meat, go for things that have different levels of spiciness, texture, and taste. If you’re going to use something like prosciutto, make sure you fold them up so guests can easily take it instead of clumsily taking a long piece of meat.

Summer is certainly the time for entertaining.

But it can be rather nerve-wracking when plans come together last minute and all of a sudden you’re expecting 15 people over and have nothing to serve.

These marinated mushrooms are the ideal antipasto to keep in your fridge and keep your guests at bay while you whip up the main course.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs mushrooms (if you’re feeling fancy, get a combination of different kinds)
• 1 bell pepper
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 ½ cup olive oil
• ½ white wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp freshly ground pepper
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp dried dill
• 1 tsp chilli flakes (optional)

Method

  1. Slice your mushrooms depending on their size and boil in salted water for 15 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the heat and drain.
  2. Chop the garlic into fine pieces and set to one side. Chop the bell pepper into pieces around the same size as the mushrooms.
  3. Fry garlic in a pan until fragrances begin to release. Place mushrooms in the pan and add the vinegar, sugar, and herbs.
  4. Once lightly cooked, remove from the pan and place into glass mason jars.
  5. Add the oil and chopped peppers.
  6. Wait for mushrooms to cool, then place in the fridge overnight and serve chilled.

Making your own cheeseboard at home is such a fun activity and it’s a beautiful centerpiece at any party. But, if you’re having trouble finding out where to start, this is the guide for you.

Cheeses

When you pick the cheeses for your cheeseboard, keep in mind that you should have somewhat of a safe option that you know everyone will like, such as cheddar. But, once you have that, you can go with more adventurous cheese like goat cheese, sheep’s milk cheese, or whatever you like.

Fruits

It’s always nice to have some sort of fruit on a cheeseboard because everything else is usually very salty, so the fruit brings some relief to it. You can stick with the classic selection of grapes, or use seasonal berries, or citrus!

Meats

If you aren’t vegetarian, it’s fun to add in some charcuterie or dried meats to the board as well. When you pick your meat, go for things that have different levels of spiciness, texture, and taste. If you’re going to use something like prosciutto, make sure you fold them up so guests can easily take it instead of clumsily taking a long piece of meat.

Summer is certainly the time for entertaining.

But it can be rather nerve-wracking when plans come together last minute and all of a sudden you’re expecting 15 people over and have nothing to serve.

These marinated mushrooms are the ideal antipasto to keep in your fridge and keep your guests at bay while you whip up the main course.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs mushrooms (if you’re feeling fancy, get a combination of different kinds)
• 1 bell pepper
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 ½ cup olive oil
• ½ white wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp freshly ground pepper
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp dried dill
• 1 tsp chilli flakes (optional)

Method

  1. Slice your mushrooms depending on their size and boil in salted water for 15 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the heat and drain.
  2. Chop the garlic into fine pieces and set to one side. Chop the bell pepper into pieces around the same size as the mushrooms.
  3. Fry garlic in a pan until fragrances begin to release. Place mushrooms in the pan and add the vinegar, sugar, and herbs.
  4. Once lightly cooked, remove from the pan and place into glass mason jars.
  5. Add the oil and chopped peppers.
  6. Wait for mushrooms to cool, then place in the fridge overnight and serve chilled.
