Is there anything better than party finger food? There’s something so decadent about bite-sized, flavour-charged morsels. And best of all, they are designed for one-handed eating while you’re juggling drinks, serviettes and small talk. Easy appetiser ideas give you, and your small appliances, the chance to shine! If you’re staying in to entertain, pull out the air fryer and the food processor to make short work of scrumptious nibbles.
Prepare these easy finger food recipes ahead of time for no-stress entertaining, then bask in the compliments.
Catering for a crowd? Make your kitchen a sweat-free cooking zone with an oven, microwave and army of benchtop appliances to lighten the load.
“Small appliances really come into their own when you’re entertaining, by automating some of the cooking process. It means you can serve a range of finger foods in that short window of time before the main meal,” says Tracey Ellis, The Good Guys Buyer – Portable Appliances.
Appetiser recipes traditionally are a single mouthful. No knives or forks should be required – even plates are optional.
Want a pretty and functional food prep zone? Check out our guide to kitchen benchtop styling.
