Apéritif time
is the important and convivial moment where you welcome your
guests. You have to show them that you are happy to see them
again, as well as help them wait for the next guest to come if need
be. So, serve a drink to them with a few appetizers
and take this moment as an opportunity to introduce them to each
other.

DRINKS The greatest and ideal Apéritif you can serve is a glass of Champagne ; but you have many other options...We usually offer a choice of classic alcohols, like whisky,or fortified wines, like Muscadet, Martini or Porto. Also, one of our most popular national apéritif is Kir ; it is made of dry Burgundy white wine, with blackcurrant liquor. If you only have sweet white wine, serve it pure it would be too sweet with the liquor ! Kir is seond best apéritif because it is very good, light and not too alcoholic... |

APPETIZERS Again, you have all sorts of options,
and let's try to get out from the potato chips or peanuts styled
snack. You have better and healthier options that will look and
taste good : |

Vegetable and French Dips Recipes : Vegetables : you can use cherry
tomatoes, sticks of carrots and cucumbers, pieces of cauliflower
or radish ; it is quiet quick to prepare them (rince and peel if
necessary + cut them in sticks). If you want to serve |
Canapés : You can offer various kinds
of canapés : Mediterranean canapés' preparations : tapenade
(olive based), ancholivade (anchovy based) , mousse
de saumon (salmon mousse), brandade de morue
(cod cream), crabe au citron (crab with lemon)…those
are absolutely delicious and have the perfume of the South
of France…They are very refined and you can spread them
on many different types of bread or crackers in

Original Ideas : Crab sticks : very light too, I like to serve them with my vegetables ; previously sliced and served with pics, it's easier of course. No dip is required. Dry sausage : a few thin slices of dry sausage can be original (our saucisson). Cheese cubes : you can put swiss cheese, cheddar cubes... but not too many, it's a rich dish. Olives : black or green, stuffed or not, they always look good and taste good… |
