Who does not love party food?  Delicious bite sized morsels, consumed whilst chatting and sipping a glass of champagne.   I adore party food, inventive canapés can impress, pack a flavour punch and are perfect for just taking the edge of your appetite and soaking up some alcohol before you move onto dinner or, if you are a social butterfly, the next party.

I have been making variations on these for years, they tick all my boxes of being Fuss Free, easy to prep ahead, impressive and have the requisite low effort high glory ratio.    In my days working in the City I could make a batch up of an evening, take to work and store in the fridge and assemble a 100 of these at a party within 15 minutes of arriving.  Win, win, win.

My canapé secret weapon is ready-made canapé cases, make sure they are bite sized and strong enough to hold the filling, but at the same time fairly thin so they do not take too long to eat and disrupt the conversation.

As always, serve elegantly, these look lovely on a slate with a scattering of chives as both a garnish and decoration.

    I used to use Pidy all the time in one of my cooking jobs. Their pastry shells are fantastic and good quality too, they last for ages and your tiny little canape spoons are beautiful, as is the photo :)
