I love eating canapes! These look really yum and easy to make too.
mmmm... these look absolutely beautiful! I have bookmarked this so I can give it a try next time I host a dinner party (.. whenever that day may be that I scramble together some baby-free time!).
PS. I saw you on SSG's blog and am your newest follower. :)
Ooooo fantastic work! I love the presentation of the duck san choy bao.
Great work, the witlof is such a good idea for sang choy bow!
Just beautiful, foodwink.
Second the high praise of your witlof usage.
I have just seen an ad for the Good Food & Wine Show. It is cheaper than the Iron Chef thingy. Alas, there do not seem to be any British chefs on the rota this year.

I love finger food at parties (I think that anything small is automatically calorie negative :P ). Those vol au vents look fantastic!
I'd love to come to your party thanks! ;)
That roast duck san choy bao looks like a blooming lotus! So beautifully presented! Bravo!
Easy, but outrageously gorgeous! Very clever, thanks Wink - these are the quality you'd see at a fine dining event!
Cool ideas! I like the witlof presentation!! Looks very very pretty.
Yum, love this collection of canape ideas. Don't quote me on this, but I could quite possibly eat sea urchin on anything.
I absolutely love the presentation of the duck sang choy bao! Hosting a party is always hard when you have to juggle cooking but these look so easy to make! Fab entertaining ideas :)
The vol au vents are a great idea! They are so easy and impressive. I'm bookmarking this page. Thanks!
It's always so much harder to make canapes compared to an actual meal, I think. So fiddly. You've made it look easy - and gorgeous. Can I come to your next party? :)
they look great especially the scallops i never thought to chuck them in the oven..
and the roast duck thing looks so pretty, florally :)
scallops look amazing- I have some frozen scallops waiting to be cooked and this looks to be the perfect recipe.
oh i remember this. all are yum!!
Cool! I have to make canapes for school and these ones look good... apart from the fact I'm vegetarian, vomit in the site of tomatos, and don't eat fish and chicken... otherwise great! :D
