Appetizers and Snacks
Appetizer and snack recipes (also referred to as snacks, finger food, party food, hors d'oeuvres and canapés) are almost always easy to make and can be made with almost any food imaginable. They c an be mild or spicy, hot or cold, made with meat or vegetarian style, and in many cases require little or no refrigeration. Appetizers can be prepared in endless ways, and can be served for most any occasion, whether it be a holiday, party or social event,
