Bringing back the cheese ball (it never should have gone out of style). Coated with crunchy walnuts and fresh parsley, it's the perfect appetizer.

Crispy bacon and savoury Dijon, paprika and chives make this one a classic party pleaser.

Easily spreadable, serve this mushroom-lentil spread with crostini & crackers. Toss some tomatoes and olives onto a plate for a pretty charcuterie board.

Fondue is one of winter’s most exciting dishes (who doesn’t love a creamy melted cheese dip?). But before you go the traditional route, think about adding a few elegant extras; we upped the ante with spinach and artichoke hearts, and it pairs perfectly with artisanal breads, sweet peppers, sliced apples and pears. 

With one simple base recipe and a selection of imaginative add-ins and garnishes, there are infinite ways to trick out these retro bites.
