Snacks represent a fairly broad concept. Here we can include various salads, and all kinds of sandwiches, and canapes, and an endless number of other original dishes, which, as a rule, are usually served at the very beginning of a meal, before serving the main course.

This section of our culinary portal contains a collection of recipes for snacks for any occasion: these are interesting snacks for the festive table, simple snacks for every day, more complex and unusual options for advanced cooks, and what is very attractive is step by step cooking snacks with photos.

To summarize, all snacks can be divided into two main categories: cold and hot snacks. Cold appetizers include light salads, tartlets, a wide variety of canapes, meat and fish cuts, as well as fresh, pickled and salted vegetables. The assortment of cold snacks is so great that it is simply impossible to list all the available categories.

Hot appetizers include all kinds of gratins and soufflés, pies and croquettes, the preparation of which is a little more difficult, but the result deserves such efforts.

In European cuisine, there is such a concept as "Russian appetizer" - this is an assortment of hot and cold dishes served before lunch or dinner along with vodka.

In Russia, light and quick snacks made from pickled mushrooms, pickled cucumbers, and sauerkraut were very popular. Black and red caviar, herring, jellied meat and freshly baked pies were served with vodka.

Modern recipes for appetizers are increasingly offering to serve fish or cold cuts, aspic, pâté, cheese and cheese slices, fish or meat mousse, stuffed eggs, vegetable marinade, forshmak, snack cake, sauté and much more.

At the same time, housewives do not have to stand at the stove for hours, creating intricate snacks from unusual products according to the most complex recipes. You can prepare a delicious snack quickly and from simple, accessible to everyone, products: for example, mushroom oil, sandwiches, stuffed tomatoes, vegetable caviar, hummus or guacamole.

One way or another, hot and cold appetizers have a place in all culinary traditions: Spanish tapas, Italian antipasti, French entre.

Depending on the situation, one or several snacks are served at the table. Even on a simple weekday for lunch or dinner, it would be nice to serve some of the simplest appetizers to prepare, for example, cold cuts, canapes with sprats, or pickles from your own cellar.

When compiling a list of appetizers for the holiday table, try to be both varied and well combined with the main course. Remember that the process of making pies, canapés, and portioned snacks is more time consuming and time consuming than making a pie or terrine.

If possible, also try to take into account the tastes and preferences of the invited guests, because among them there may be those who adhere to vegetarianism or observe the fast, and therefore a meat snack will not suit them, but a vegetable one will be to their taste.

And we, in turn, will do our best so that our collection of recipes is daily replenished with new, interesting, unusual, and most importantly, very delicious recipes snacks.
