Every gathering begins with something to nibble — a small bite passed between friends, a platter set out while glasses are being poured, a first taste that sets the tone for what’s to come. To Start is a collection of appetizers made for those in-between moments: casual enough to enjoy standing around the kitchen, yet thoughtful enough to open an evening around the table. These are the things to pass, to share, to have ready before the doorbell rings — recipes that invite conversation, ease, and that quiet kind of excitement that comes just before dinner begins.
