appetizers

These light bites are a great way to use up extra mashed potatoes. The crisp outer crust is perfect for holding together potatoes mixed with fresh green herbs and kicky jalapeno.

This "romesco-esque dip" excerpted from Alison Roman's Nothing Fancy features beets in lieu of roasted red peppers.

This holiday, we’re celebrating by sharing the load of making the feast. Everyone brings their best dish—and everyone digs in.

Fingerling potatoes, with their firm and flavourful flesh, are perfect for topping with dill cream, capers, smoked salmon and a few pomegranate arils, which add a sparkling touch. It's hard for them to go unnoticed in the centre of the table!

These festive cheese balls can be prepared in advance and served on a cracker.
