Forget heavy
mince pies and soggy vol au vents, canapé's
provide a light and attractive alternative, especially when presented
on pretty ceramic plates or in attractive wicker baskets.
For an early evening party,
choose at least four different canapés
and double up on the quantities to provide eight to ten bits per person.
Alternatively, serve one or two with drinks before dinner as tasty appetisers.
The bases and fillings may
be made well in advance - the pastry cases stored in airtight containers
and the fillings covered in the fridge,
ready to put together just before the guests arrive. Ensure canapés
remain crisp by assembling at the last moment
