Easy appetizers for entertaining or for when you just need a little nibble before the main event.

Who doesn’t love a dish that’s fancy enough for entertaining but is Tuesday night easy? These Truffle Butter Steak Bites are tender, decadent, packed with flavour and take about 10 minutes of working time to make. They make such an easy meal and would even make a fantastic appetizer because […]
…and Bacon!! Ok friends, these Marinated Brussels Sprouts with Maple Balsamic and Bacon are the new best thing you’ve ever eaten and I would not lie about an important thing like that. I must tell you that my daughter and I ate a whole lot of these babies straight off […]
Tis the season for all the appetizers and this is a fun twist on an authentic tourtière. You might be asking… Vegan Meat Pies? Vegetarian Tourtière? Umm… what the??? I’ll explain. You may or may not already know that one of my daughters is vegetarian. You also may or may […]

Crispy Cheesy Korean Rice Cakes in Spicy Gochujang Garlic Butter Sauce This recipe for Cheese Tteokbokki should come with a warning. It’s good. It’s sit down with a fork and don’t leave the table until it’s all gone good. I highly recommend making it for a crowd to prevent yourself […]

You may have the intention of making these Zucchini Arancini Balls to serve as an appetizer… but I’m going to have to warn you that you may want to reconsider making any other food to go with them because I can pretty much guarantee that you will eat the whole batch. […]
This Whipped Feta Dip is a meal all on its own. It is for me anyway. Who else likes appies for dinner??? This is the perfect dish for that. I can’t think of anything else I would need… Except a good chilled rosé, obviously. Have you ever had loaded hummus? […]

Welcome to my site! I'm a self-taught, home cook who pretty much lives in the kitchen. Or with my nose in a cookbook. Cooking is my passion, my obsession, my very favourite thing. I make a lot of really good comfort food with creative twists and bolder flavours. My food is slightly elevated but isn't too fussy. I'm not here to teach you how to cook, I'm here to inspire you, to show you something new and really, really good. And to make you hungry. In my home, in The Pypers Kitchen, this is what we eat.
