Essential at parties, or instead of a starter at an informal gathering, or to serve with drinks... these recipes will soon win a place in your regular repertoire as they're easy and irresistible!
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
Serves 1Kipper pâté
You could use frozen kipper fillets for this, but even better would be a proper kipper. By the time you've removed the skin and bones from one medium-sized kipper you should be left with approximately 4 oz (110 g) fish.
Serves 8Russian Blinis with Smoked Salmon and Caviar
These exotic-sounding treats are so, so easy to make and are indulgent served at a party. You can, of course, use bought blinis and the caviar is actually roe, but who can tell?
Serves 5Smoked Salmon Pink 'Uns
No, not the FT - Pink 'Uns are local Saturday football papers. Because this recipe is the most beautiful shade of pink, the name seemed appropriate.
Makes about 28Tiny Cheese, Onion and Olive Scones
These are so moreish that I don't think your guests could possibly survive on just one. They are simple to make and freeze superbly once cooked, provided you defrost and re-heat them in a hot oven for about 4 minutes before serving. If you're making
Serves 6 (Makes 18-20 blinis)Buckwheat Blinis with Smoked Salmon, Creme Fraiche and Dill
Although these mini pancakes look pretty impressive, they're dead easy to make and won't cost a fortune either: enjoy them as part of Delia's Frugal Christmas menu!
Makes about 14Party Cheese Twists
So, so easy to make, these lovely cheesy morsels are made with ready-rolled puff pastry, which means you can rustle up a batch in no time at all. Great with drinks or at parties...
Serves 4Parma ham, pecorino and rosemary crisps
This recipe is perfect if you want to serve something homemade with pre-dinner drinks, and you can ring the changes with the type of cheese you use.
Serves 2-4 Pissaladiere
Popular in the South of France, this lovely pizza-type recipe draws a lot of its inspiration from nearby Italy. You can easily ring the changes with the topping, too, for a great lunch or supper dish.
Makes about 30Pistachio Sables
This recipe was kindly given to me by the Head Pastry Chef, Mark Mitson, at The Blakeney Hotel in Norfolk, where they are served in the bar with drinks, but only if you get there early enough, because they disappear in a flash.
