Make a snack platter to please a crowd with this Chilli Whipped Brie. A creamy rich whipped dip with a drizzle of honey and chilli is a perfect appetiser for those who love something a little hot and spicy. Serve alongside veg sticks, light snacks and a warm crusty French stick.
For those who love the Asian cuisine, you’re sure to have these 5 store cupboard items in your pantry so why not grill up these Sticky Chicken Nibbles? Fast to prep, cook quickly in a frying pan or on a barbeque, and garnish with fresh spring onion and garlic aioli on the side for a satisfying appetiser.
We have another recipe that only takes 5 ingredients and could easily be adapted to your personal taste (or your fridge offerings!). Mini Pizza Bites are a tasty and easy savoury snack or side for a brunch platter.
Everyone wants a recipe that ticks all the boxes; easy to understand, quick to prepare and simple to present. Take these simple homemade Meatball Burgers to a new level with fresh basil pesto, crushed tomatoes and melty mozzarella.
You’ve got to love a one-dish wonder, and this Red Capsicum Pesto Crusted Lamb Rump with Couscous is just that; fresh, colourful and fast to assemble. Serve alongside flatbread, hummus and a squeeze of lemon for a wholesome southern European menu.
Wanting to try something new? Try our Tandoori Lamb Cutlet Rice Platter with a Tzatziki on the side. Spicy lamb, coconut rice and broccolini, all on one dish and ready in 15 minutes. If you want extra sides, onion bhajis, samosas and coriander naans would compliment this platter perfectly.
You’ve ticked off appetisers and a meal, but now wondering what you whip up for a dessert?
Fear not, we have a short-order dessert ready in under 5 minutes and the classic flavours of tiramisu without the waiting; a delicious Tiramisu Dip. Note the great tip to substitute the sponge fingers with gluten-free sweet biscuits and serve alongside mini meringues and fruit for a quick and easy gluten-free dessert.
Another option for those who don’t have time to spend in the kitchen is our Blueberry Crumble Cake which uses a blueberry muffin packet mix and looks as good as it tastes!
