hors d'oeuvres
Hors d'oeuvres are a first impression, and you only get one
of those. And everybody's heard the old saying that you
taste first with your eyes—well, it's true. Whether you're
making everything from scratch or adding in a few gourmet
premade items, present the appetizers beautifully and you'll
wow your guests. When your guests fall in love with the
appetizers, they'll decide that dinner tastes great too, even
before they take their first bite. The small portion nature of
hors d'oeuvres means that they are a great way to introduce
guests to really bold flavors. Couple those bold flavors with
tried-and-true favorites, and you have yourself the makings of
a very successful party.
