Small bites and starters

These appetizer recipes have transformed how I entertain because they're perfect for passing around or setting out on a table and what makes them really special is how they let people try lots of different flavors in small portions plus they're ideal for eating with your hands while enjoying drinks and conversation and I love how they create that relaxed atmosphere where people can mingle and snack while chatting which makes hosting so much more enjoyable for everyone including the cook and they're so versatile you can make them for any occasion from casual gatherings to fancy parties.
