Finally my trusty sidekick, Vika, and I got together for the first of many cooking sessions. Where Vika did all of the cooking and I did most of the tasting and the photo taking. As far tasting goes, these minis were fabulous. As far as photos go, judge for yourself…

Now to describe what’s what and how these minis were created. We’ll go in order of preparation.

First Vika started with salmon minis.

Key ingredients:
1. European whole grain bread (can be found at Trader Joe’s)
2. Salmon
3. Creme fraiche
4. Chives
Top the bread with slices of salmon, creme fraiche and diced chives. Once plated, just serve.

Now for the Bruschetta minis

To create these tasty minis you will need the following ingredients and will need to take the following steps:
1. Tomatoes (Vika used cherry and pear tomatoes)
2. Fresh Basil
3. Olive Oil
4. Sun-dried tomatoes
5. Baguette
Cut up the baguette and toast slices of baguette in the oven. In the mean time, dice the fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Mix together with olive oil. Top the toasted baguette slices with the tomato mixture and serve.

Try these minis and they’ll fly off the plate in the blink of an eye.
