Restaurant Appetizer and Dip Recipes

Favorite Restaurant Recipes

The way we have changed our life-styles and eating experiences has elevated these restaurant
appetizer recipes as an essential part of the restaurant business and for home entertainment.

As originally used, appetizers were to be light items and not
constitute a complete meal in and of themselves.

While we still use appetizers as an indication of the meal to
come and, quite frankly, as a means of entertaining guests
while the main meal is prepared, in America we have a
appetizers an additional role.

At certain times and occasions, appetizers have become the

entire meal. Eating several different appetizers for a meal

is sometimes referred to as “grazing.”

(Two of my favorite "grazers.")

My restaurant recipes for appetizers provide for a full range of tastes, costs and products and
have been favorite restaurant recipes for the past two decades. Some of my restaurant recipes
have been really secret restaurant recipes...until now.
