Dips, Spreads, Pate Appetizers
Gourmet Dip, Spread, Pate Appetizer Index Collection

All of these hors d'oeuvres are tried and true, each appetizer was first tested in my kitchen before placing them here. They are all easy to prepare. See a photograph of each one, it is nice to see what they look like before making them and to get ideas on how to present and what garnishes to use before serving.
