Can you really get your five-a-day from CANAPES?

Posted on September 12, 2014 by Chantal's Kitchen

Can three canapés and a boozy fruit drink provide all the goodness of ‘five-a-day’ fruits and vegetables without the need to prep, cook, or even sit down to eat? According to an article in the Daily Mail, this has been in high demand during London’s fashion week.

These delicious canapés were created with a team of home economists to help the ‘fashion weak’ at fashion week! Imagine if food was created to provide the highest nutritional value with every single bite. Forget platefuls of food and instead think one bite for breakfast, one bite for lunch and the third for dinner. It would certainly help those people who would rather not eat! Luckily, having written a canapé book, I know exactly how EASY it is to get fresh fruit and vegetables into these small bitesize healthy nibbles.

Would I limit my intake to three canapés and a fruit drink, especially when they are so good for you? No chance!

Great British Bake Off – Bread is all you need

It was a dark and stormy Wednesday night…. With one hour to go before the GBBO was back for this week’s adventure. Phone was off the hook and mobile on silent, curtains were drawn and I was officially not home.

The standard is so good on the GBBO. Despite none of the contestants being professionals, they are innovative, courageous and talented. Knowing it was a bread week, what better thing to eat while watching tv than the luscious humble Croque Monsieur from my canapé book… Diet starts next week!

Posted on August 19, 2014 by Chantal's Kitchen

I’m just a little bit proud to have published my first cookery ebook entitled: Canapés (appetisers, cocktail party food, finger food, nibbles, hors d’oeuvres, amuse-bouche, mini bites including warm canapés, cold canapés and sweet canapés, as well as dips and oriental canapés).

It’s been a JOY to work on this project and wonderful to have delicious canapés in one ebook that I know have charmed their way into nibble events all over London and beyond. Those dear to me have sampled more than their fair share of the canapés while I fine tuned the recipes! I have loved baking and whisking, slicing and dicing, smoothing and cooking and of course – eating.

The canapés ebook available on Kindle or click on the cover image below – enjoy the canapés recipes and do send me feedback please.

The best kept secret – are our canapes
After popular demand, I am now focusing quite a lot of my time on providing delicious, clever, never-been-seen before canapes at events. It’s great fun to be creative and really push the boat out with some flavours.

Nothing is what it seems with our canapes
It’s all about surprise! Who wants the usual, when you can savour delicious bite size canapes. We have spent countless hours making bite size pieces that look like one thing and taste of something very different. Our tomato and parmesan marshmallows are a real hit. I can’t stop eating them. Surely it is one of my 5 a day of vegetables?

Most of our canape events have been in London, call us to book your next canape event.
