For the royal wedding, I had a lunch gathering of friends and family. We made bread, watched the interesting bits of the wedding and giggled at the hats. I made an assortment of fancy finger foods so that we, too, could feel posh.

Smoked salmon bruschetta:

• Take small pieces of toasts or slices of crusty bread.
• Spread with cream cheese or chevre.
• Fold a piece of smoked salmon on top and cover with chives or flowers.

Roast beef bruschetta:

• Make small half-slices of crusty bread, spread with butter (or mustard).
• Top with water cress, or lettuce/spinach if you don’t have water cress.
• Fold a piece of roast beef on top.

Cured meat and parsley bruschetta:

• Take crackers (like La Panzanella) and cover with slices of cured meat (like San Danielle or duck breast proscuitto)
• Top with parsley and, optionally, shredded parmesan.

Salut!
