Appetizers are a great way to start any gathering!  I like to begin every dinner party in my kitchen with casual drinks and appetizers.  This really seems to put people at ease as they watch me cook and the conversation and laughter becomes so enjoyable.  Entertaining is truly a gift from the heart and learning how to entertain successfully will make your parties and gatherings a pleasure for both you and your guests.
