80420 10446 • Start with a good base. Mousses, patés, hummus, relishes, guacamole, infused crème fraîche, sour cream, sweet chilli bases and mascarpone all provide a burst of flavour with a creamy, moist texture. • Look at options like sweetcorn patties, blinis, waffles, flatbreads and rosti, that you can use to build on. A chicken karaage nibble atop a sweet chilli and sour cream base, topped with bright green spring onion, for example, and mini- pancakes topped with ready-to-serve seafood like crab, salmon and caviar creates depth and provides pretty bites that are easy to hold and eat. • Use the textures, colours and flavours of seasonal spring produce to create dramatic garnishes that add colour, texture and fragrance to your canapés. Spring asparagus, avocado and fresh herbs all add freshness and seasonality to your plates. • Living Goodness have a great range of kimchi and sauerkraut. Add a dollop of this healthy raw fermented flavour to add kick and pop of colour. • Don’t forget about the sweet treats to round out the party! Use portioned slab cakes, tartlet shells, meringues and chocolate to satisfy the dessert lovers. Check out our “tricking up your dessert” feature on page 20-21.

Blini are excellent platforms, light & fluffy and perfectly round. Top with classic salmon and caviar, shaved rare roasted beef & horseradish crème, or Parma ham, pear and blue cheese. Include vegetarian options like smoked eggplant, hummus and pomegranate – with a blini, anything is possible! For variety, take a bigger component like small bacon & egg pies and divide into multiple serves. Ensure it holds together well for presentation and ingredients are distributed evenly.
