Having a good selection of vegetarian canapés at a party ensures there’s something for everyone to eat - after all, vegetarian food isn’t just just for herbivores. A good canapé will be small, attractive and above all easy to eat. While they are generally small in size this should not necessarily be reflected in the flavour - make each bite memorable with powerful ingredients such as goats cheese, onion or spicy fruit chutneys.

Our collection of vegetarian canapé recipes contains some great inspiration for perfect party light bites. Paul Foster's salty Beer puffs work well for a casual soirée, or for something a little more delicate try Josh Eggleton’s mini Pickled ewes milk and watermelon salads - as refreshing as they are elegant.

If your party has an Indian theme - a cuisine perfect for vegetarians - we have a great range of finger food to suit your needs. Onion bhajis are always a crowd pleaser, and Alfred Prasad's flavourful recipe will ensure your guests will be asking for more. Prasad's Paneer skewers work well for children and adults alike, and are especially great on the barbecue.

Cheese canapés are a definite favourite. Try Cheese beignets from Tom Aikens or Pascal Aussignac’s aromatic Roquefort pie. If you want to get creative with your flavours whip up some of Nathan Outlaw's versatile Thyme crackers, which can be finished with a combination of toppings.
