Italian Recipes : Appetizers and Snacks

Karen Bradie’s antipasto is more than a holiday favorite—it’s a thoughtful, versatile gift that has graced tables across Amherstburg for decades. She began making it years ago after tasting a friend’s version at a euchre club gathering.

Since then, it’s become a staple at Christmastime in the Bradie household, lovingly prepared in large batches to share with friends, neighbours, and party guests. Tangy, savory, and wonderfully festive, it freezes well, makes a perfect hostess gift, and is always welcome when company drops by.

It’s a recipe that reflects Karen herself—gracious, generous, and full of flavour.
