Canape
Canapes may have a reputation for being fiddly to make, but Delia has some wonderfully quick and easy bites up her sleeve, many of which can be made in advance for easy entertaining.
Serves 4Anchoïade with Toasted Goats' Cheese Croutons
Anchovies, mi-cuit tomatoes, olives, oregano: all strong flavours, but combine them in a processor and you end up with this lovely pate-like result. Spread it on to toasted bread for a type of bruschetta - useful as nibbles at a party.
Makes 24Mini Yorkshire Puddings with Rare Beef and Horseradish and Mustard Crème Fraîche Sauce

Makes 12, to serve 4-6 Crostini Lazio
These elegant little morsels are simplicity itself to make. Serve them with drinks or as part of a buffet spread...
Serves 6Quails’ Eggs with Cracked Pepper and Salt
Easy, elegant and bound to go down a treat with your guests, these little quail's eggs need nothing more than good salt and pepper to give them plenty of party pizazz!
Serves 1Anchoïade
This is a really gutsy snack, served on toasted French bread, and redolent of sunny picnics in Provence! If you're wondering what to do with the rest of the anchovy fillets, cover them in a bowl with clingfilm and store to use later for Pizza Amalfit
