Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Antipasto along with all the Antipasto containing recipes presented on this site, with 9 recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate 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. This page gives a listing of all the Antipasto recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Antipasto as a major wild food ingredient.

This is an Italian word that literally means 'before the pasts' (ie before the repast, or before the meal) and these combinations of hot and cold starters are the equivalent of French hors d'oeuvres. A mixture of antipasti could include platters of cheeses, smoked meats, salamis, olives, a selection of seafood, marinated vegetables and various breads with olive oil and salt for dipping. As with many of these types of starters the flavours and textures are meant to whet the appetite and to prepare the stomach for the meal to come.
