  This title presents a collection of recipes to begin a meal. Whether for a cosy family get-together or a formal dinner party entertaining, there is a recipe here to complement every occasion. Soup makes an ideal start to a meal at any time of the year. There are dozens of recipes to choose from, such as the delicate Thai-style sweetcorn soup and the sophisticated watercress and orange soup. In cooler weather, some of the chunkiest meat and vegetable soups, served with crusty bread or delicious toasted cheese or pesto croutes, make substantial one-pot meals. The varied selection of tempting hot and cold starters offers a range of pates, salads and appetizers such as smoked haddock pate, avocado and papaya salad, lemony stuffed courgettes and the classic devilled kidneys. The fish and seafood recipes include creamy Creole crab and scallop and mussel kebabs. Every recipe is shown step-by-step and there are plenty of helpful cook's tips throughout.
