Recipes : French Appetizers
A curation of my absolute favorite recipes to embrace the French "apéro"
L’apéro, short for “apéritif” is what we call the pre-dinner snacks and drinks in France. This is an utterly beloved ritual, so much so that I have devoted an entire chapter to it in my first cookbook!
The apéro all about whetting the appetite with savory finger foods, refreshing drinks, and engaging conversation. Here are a few of my favorite recipes from my website to embrace this French tradition! Click on each button below the images to access the recipe.

I know them. I am a cheese lover and I like these cheese “aperitif” 😉 My brother in law lives in Brittany and I tried them first time in San Malo.
I cooked them at home as well. I might try them again for Christmas 🎄
Allow me to share a quick breakfast idea that I wrote about. A healthy way to start your day 😉 I hope you find it useful
