By | Canapés, Cooked to the Door, Coronavirus, Dining, Food for thought, News, Uncategorised | No Comments

Cooked to the Door is back! I’ve put together a few ideas for you to treat yourselves to, some a bit different and others that are just a ‘warm hug’. With us nearing the end of the winter I’ve tried to balance the winter warmer selection with the lighter flavours of spring.

Canapés for a treat

Something indulgent for the weekend or maybe a special occasion. A selection of 1 bite canapés. I would suggest that you order 5-6 items per person as a pre-dinner nibble or 10-12 if you are replacing dinner to graze throughout the evening. All canapés are priced at £2.00 per item. (Trays will be collected at the earliest convenience).

  • Smoked salmon and cream cheese blini
  • Ham hock and artichoke croquette
  • Spiced crab doughnuts
  • Duck confit, sesame and beansprout spring rolls
  • Saffron and ginger battered prawns
  • Beetroot and goats cheese tostada
  • Roquefort peach and cured ham crostini
  • Haddock and salmon fish cakes
  • Prawn and lobster sesame toasts
  • Sundried tomato and basil cheesecake
  • BBQ beef and slow roast onion pizza
  • Lobster salad mini brioche
  • Chorizo and red pepper scotch quail eggs
  • Lamb and mint bon bon
  • Onion and nigella seed bahji
  • Asparagus, spinach and ricotta arancini
  • Lemon and pistachio tart
  • Bannoffi pie
