Appetizer Recipes

appetizer recipes

57 Recipes

The appetizer recipes in this section work well either as side dishes with a main meal or as tapas – small savory plates to serve on their own.

You will notice that the salads emphasize the use of a healthy dressing made with a nourishing traditional fat. The nutrients in the salad ingredients are much more readily absorbed (not to mention tasty) this way!

The side recipes include a number of recipes for fermented dishes too. This adds probiotics and enzymes to the meal for a comfortable digestive experience post eating.

No matter your food philosophy, you will find a number of these recipes to suit your culinary preferences with a focus on sourcing local ingredients from farms practicing sustainable cultivation practices.
