Celtnet Recipes for Starters and Appetisers Home Page





Welcome to Celtnet's Recipes for Starters Home Page — Here you will find links to each and every recipe for starters (appetizers) listed on this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. The starter is an unusual dish in that it's indtended to prepare the stomach and the palate for the Main Course or Entrée. This is very much an European invention, originating in the dining practices of Ancient Rome and it's something integral to European culutre and cuisine (though the Romans also introduced the practice to North Africa and there starters are also commonly served). Indeed, most other cultures do not have course-based dining. However, a surprising number of cultures will serve a soup or something light before the main meal. Here you will find a surprising variety of recipes for starters, including Salads and soups (which is really a course in itself, the 'soup course') as well as dishes based on fruit, vegetables, seafood and meat. These dishes come from all corners of the globe and many periods in history. I hope you enjoy sampling and cooking some of these dishes for yourself.

As well as Starters, you can also browse recipes by the following meal types:

Accompaniments to Main Courses Breads, Cakes and Pastries Breakfast Recipes
Dessert Drinks Main Course
Sauces and Jams Snacks Soup Recipes
Spice Blend Starters Alphabetical Listings


The alphabetical list of recipes for Starters follows (limited to 100 recipes per page). There are 2495 recipes in total:
