First Courses

First courses are the perfect prelude to any main meal. They need to be satisfying without being too filling. The dish can be as simple or elaborate and as rich or refreshing as you desire - the only rule is to make sure that your first course creates a fantastic impression. A successful appetizer leaves the guests hungry for more, and it also sets the dinner mood, stimulates the appetite, and promises that exciting things to come.

 

Your choice of first course should take its cue from the food  you intend to server as a main course. Choose with care, as the appetizer will set the tone for the rest of the meal. If you are serving a roast meat or heavy stew as the main course, select something fairly light.
