French-style Hor D'Oeuvres are a sophisticated choice, especially when served on a large platter for sharing - choose from Provencal Crudites or A French Seafood Platter (Fruits de Mer). For smaller individual plates, look no further than Quick Mini Pissaladieres, Celeriac Remoulade and Blanched Green Beans with Hazelnuts and Raspberry Vinaigrette. And of course Terrines and Pates that can be prepared ahead and simply sliced to serve with melba toasts or oatcakes are the ideal solution for the time-pressed hostess.
