45 Recipes for Vegetarian Party Nibbles & Canapés you need to know about

As a vegetarian, I’ve often found myself in the situation where I’m ravenously hungry at a drinks reception, but all the canapés coming past involve smoked salmon or prosciutto, or other meaty treats.  A very first-world problem, I know, but there you go!

So, as party season approaches, I thought a quick roundup of ideas for vegetarian party nibbles & canapés  would be a good idea.  Some are from friends’ blogs, others from my own, and a few I’ve spotted around the internet recently and thought they looked just stunning.

If you’re planning a party and are looking for some inspiration, you can’t go wrong with this lot!
