Apéros, 500 creative recipes, Hachette Pratique

What to prepare for aperitif time? Apéros offers 500 recipes, from drinks to bites for sharing. This Hachette Pratique hardback brings together 388 pages beneath an illustrated yellow cover.

Planning your aperitif menu

The contents let you explore according to your appetite: cocktails, verrines, dips and spreads, quick recipes or aperitif breads. Other chapters cover vegetarian ideas and aperitifs from around the world. Savoury loaves, pizzas and tartlets sit alongside sweet recipes.

Preparations featured by the publisher include pretzels, fougasse, patatas bravas, sardine rillettes and courgette crisps. This selection offers several ways to build an assortment without limiting aperitif time to a single kind of dish.

Recipes and techniques

The book also covers basic preparations: tempura batter, brick pastry sheets and puff pastry. The contents and recipe index help you find what you want to cook.

The interior views show hummus, verrines, spanakopita and seafood rolls, among other recipes. They offer a look at how the recipes are presented before you choose this edition.
