Cold appetizer

After paying attention to every detail of this course, I have learned the true meaning of appetizer, its types and when it can be served during a full course meal.

Moving forward to the main topic of the week, which is COLD APPETIZER, I will share my understanding on the topic, a clear preparation procedures of cold appetizer, my experience while making it and the cost ( expenses for each ingredient).

Understanding Cold Appetizers

This is simply a small dish that is served cold (chilled) before the main course meal in order to arouse appetite. Cold appetizers should be served cold, should be appealing, easy to handle ( bite-sized) and most importantly; it should be lightly flavourful. Cold appetizers are of different types; salads, fruit, cold meat and dips & spreads.
