Cold appetizers - recipes for a buffet table

There are cases when the best way to receiveguests will organize a buffet table. This word literally means "snack on the fork." Cocktail requires compliance with certain rules, which, in turn, determine the menu for such reception.

Let's try to create a special menu, which will be dominated by cold snacks.

Recipes for dishes

First of all, you should think about the following:

Any dish on the buffet should beso that it can be easily and conveniently taken from a common dish, put in your plate and eat without much difficulty. This means that the size of the portioned piece, tartlet or base for canapés, it is better to make small, as they say, "one bite".
Guests should be offered only salads, hot and cold snacks, the recipes of which mean the complete removal of bone or skin products.
All dishes should be beautifully decorated.

Based on these rules, you need to choose cold snacks.

Recipes for canapes

The general principle of canapé is the basis of bread,which is applied a layer of oil, mayonnaise or soft cheese. Bread, as a rule, is used without peeling. The form of canapes can be any: round, rectangular, triangular and even figured, cut with the help of special biscuit molds. The thickness of the breadbread should not be more than 5 mm. Without a good sharp knife here can not do.

An oil layer is needed so that the other ingredients of the canapé do not slip off the bread.

And then everything will be determined by your imagination. Alternate layers of ham, meat, bacon, cheese, red fish, vegetables and greens. Usually, canapé is pierced with special skewers and decorated with olive or a piece of pineapple.
