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!!
