Appetizers, Hors d'oeuvres, Starters...

These terms typically refer to prepared 'bites' served prior to the main courses of a meal. They can also refer to prepared 'bites' served at a cocktail party with aperitifs. The terms are not intended to pertain to un-prepared dishes such as crudité, but for most of us, they are inclusive of anything served buffet style other than main meals. These appetizer recipes are fairly common at American dinners or cocktail parties. For additional ideas, please check out our tapas and mezze recipes as well.
