Starters

Starters, appetizers, amuse bouche, hor d'oeuvre, aperitivo o antipasto, a list of ideas you can serve at a dinner party or a buffet. Many can be prepared in advance and served at room temperature. So many choices from Italian Fried Eggplant balls, Fried Zucchini blossoms, or a collection of Savoury Pancake. You can mix and match any you like.

Those starters will set the right tone for your dinner party and have your friends ask for more.
