There are simple starters and there are complicated ones. You have probably made starter recipes before or snacks for parties. If you’re totally new to cooking maybe you are worried about making starters but there is really no need because they are so easy. Sticking cocktail sticks into cubes of cheese counts as making a starter, as does opening a jar of olives and putting them into a dish. Of course these aren’t the most impressive starter recipes you could make!There are starters for every occasion, whether you are catering for a party, a buffet, a sporting event, a coffee morning or something else. Some starters take less than a minute to make and others are just as fiddly as an elaborate main course.
