Goat Cheese with Olives, Lemon, and Thyme1/10
Words sort of elude us when we attempt to describe just how stunning and scrumptious we consider this dish. Just...wow.

Stilton and Walnut Crackers2/10
Perhaps the simplest and most sophisticated dinner party precursor ever. Just make the savory shortbread dough, freeze, slice, and bake. You're welcome.

Ina Garten’s Rosemary Cashews3/10
This warm-from-the-oven nosh is the ideal melding of sweet, spicy, and savory. An ideal pre-Thanksgiving-dinner nosh.

Baked Ricotta4/10
Entertaining gets no simpler than this rich, creamy, indulgent, elegant cheese spread made from three ingredients. Tasting is believing. Go on.

Spiced Shrimp with Paprika Mayonnaise5/10
This crowd-pleasing spiced shrimp is served hot, hot, hot alongside a dip that's sigh-inducingly coooooooooool.

Cheddar-Chive Gougeres6/10
These wee cheese puffs are made with sharp Cheddar cheese and chives. For a little bit of spice and heat, dry mustard and cayenne pepper are mixed in.

Cheddar-Parmesan Crackers7/10
Who knew that making your own crackers could be so easy?! This dough is a cinch to work with although the results disappear rather frighteningly quickly when there's wine involved.

A Trio of Deviled Eggs8/10
Irresistible. That's what we think of this array of deviled eggs, which come in classic, smoked salmon, and lightly truffled. Better than mom's.

Red Chili and Cheddar Crackers9/10
These can't-stop-eating-them crackers boast actual aged Cheddar cheesiness. Stain-your-fingers faux Cheez-It-ness just can't compete.

Pan-Seared Foie Gras10/10
This luxe little number with a pan sauce reduction of late-harvest Chardonnay is best reserved for when you truly, madly, deeply love your guests.
