Creating canapés can be a simple affair offering one or two delicious mouthfuls before dinner or a substitute for a three course meal. This book features canapés that use produce, spices and flavours from around the world. It's completely up to you what combination you offer and I hope these pages will provide inspiration and the confidence to help you achieve a great party with delicious, home cooked food.
