Appetizers are small first course dishes presented before the entree or main meal.


These are typically served at the beginning of the meal in order to inspire the appetite.

Frequently referred to as the "First Course." These normally consist of small portions of cold or hot foods (such as a salad, egg roll, crab cakes, buffalo wings etc) which are intended to set the digestive fluids to their duties and in doing so whet the appetite for the other courses to come.

Different cultures will have their own particular variations, for example:

  • Tapas (Spain)
  • Mezedakia (Greece)
  • Antipasto (Italy)


Although normally served before a main course, appetizers also make ideal finger food for parties and entertaining. You may also like to create a whole meal beased on selection of different appetizers.
