Choosing and adapting your starter

A good starter whets the appetite without weighing the meal down. Velvety soups, crunchy salads, terrines and verrines: starters lend themselves especially well to allergen-free adaptations, because they often rely on fresh vegetables.

For a milk-free starter, go for vegetable soups thickened with potato rather than cream. For a gluten-free version, swap croutons for toasted seeds. The recipe cards flag these options directly.

Think of the starter, too, as a way to introduce flavours from around the world: hummus, gazpacho or spring rolls whet the appetite while taking you travelling.
