5 Great Canape recipes you can make at home

Cooking is an art of creating something extraordinary from ordinary ingredients. All you need is passion, patience and the right amount of flavours. The same holds true for canapés, London’s favourite savoury pastry. The snack derives its name that means a sofa in French, analogous to the topping sitting on toast or a puff.


As any café dealing in Canapé Delivery London would vouch, the cracker is fast becoming a staple meal between meals here in London. If you are looking to add you own zany touch to canapé making, then read on for these lip smacking variants!

       1. Zesty Japanese Salmon Canapés: Cut the smoked salmons into thin strips, mix it with lime, zest and soak and let it marinate for fifteen minutes. Add mayonnaise and wasabi powder. Heat the blinis as per the pack instructions; divide the marinade salmons between the blinis and season with black sesame seeds and chives before serving.

     2. Cranberry Cheese Canapés: Mix chopped cranberries, fresh chopped cilantro, sugar, minced jalapeno pepper, freshly grated ginger together and let it stand for 10 minutes. Spread the toast with the preferred choice of cheese and top it with a spoon full of cranberry mixture. Yummy cranberry canapé - a perfect addition to your party is ready to serve.

     3.  Raspberry Basil Canapé: The handcrafted canapé to cater to any function, the recipe is simple and finger licking good. In a bowl combine the cream cheese, sour cream, salt and some vinegar, and taste. Vary the ingredients to match your taste. Add a dollop on each cracker as glue for the single raspberry and basil leaf on the top.

    4. Apple Cheddar canapé: Mix apple and cheddar cheese together. Add it with mayonnaise and honey. Spread each toast with a scant teaspoon and broil for a couple of minutes. The Apple cheddar canapé is ready to be served. Add mustard or pepper for more bite.

  5. Roasted Balsamic Strawberry and goat cheese canapé: Bake the strawberries until they caramelize or for about 15 minutes, add balsamic, olive oil, honey, pepper and salt. Mix until it forms a jam. Take bread, spread the cheese and add a generous spoon of the compote and bake for another 15 minutes or until the bread is browned and the cheese melts. This is one of the more popular forms of orders we receive for Canapé Delivery in London.

   With its simple recipe and less number of ingredients, canapés are one of the tastiest treats one can make at home on a Christmas celeb, New Year’s Eve or just a party at home. The bite size canapé nuggets add colour and flavour to your menu and the table.  Canapés also give the freedom to experiment and try it differently.

   Though the canapés served during the cocktail parties are expected to be spicy and salty, so as to encourage drinking, canapés can have a distinctly sweet taste to it as well for some variants.
