Piri piri sauce packs a punch in this delectable little hot hors d’oeuvre.

This bruschetta is reverse because you dip the bread into the topping instead of spooning the topping onto the bread.

Whether to feed your monsters on Halloween night before trick or treating, or as a gross-out meal kids of a certain age and sensibility will enjoy year round, this ghastly “brain” will fill the bill.

Sure to be a hit with the kids. Serve as an appetizer or alongside their favourite pasta dish.

Often Indian dishes are high in sodium and fat. Here we use plain nonfat yogurt to tenderize and flavour the chicken while keeping salt and fat under control.

An impressive bacon-and-egg sandwich, given a Mediterranean twist by the tapenade and roasted red peppers.

Classic smoked salmon and cream cheese, reinvented here as crostini or “little toasts”. A perfect pre-dinner nibble with cocktails.

Salmon is a source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fat, an essential heart healthy fat that our bodies need to function properly. Omega-3 may protect against coronary artery disease and stroke.

As someone once said, “Cold cheese is a snack, but warm cheese is a meal.” This soul-satisfying dish can be put together in minutes.

Toasted bread appetizers (crostini means toast) never fail to please as an accompaniment for salads or drinks. Roasted garlic olive oil makes them easy.
