Hi, I'm Julia, the creator of Appetizer Addiction, a food blog focused on appetizers. My passion for bite-sized foods started long before I launched this blog in 2018. With nearly 20 years of experience in the food industry, I've spent countless hours creating appetizers that are simple, satisfying and easy to make at home.
Here, you'll find plenty of easy appetizers that are quick to make. Planning a game night, hosting a party, or need a last-minute finger food idea? Start with bite-sized snacks, creamy dips, elegant canapés, plus classics like cocktail meatballs and deviled eggs.
Charcuterie boards are my absolute favorite because they're the easiest to put together and they always please a crowd. It's no surprise there's a good selection of them here.
I also enjoy exploring international flavors, so you'll see a mix of familiar favorites and new ideas inspired by the cuisines I love.
A quick note on recipe testing
My background in catering and recipe development, along with additional training in recipe writing, helps me create well-tested recipes you can rely on. Every recipe is tested multiple times and tweaked until the timing and instructions are just right before it's published.
- Clear, step-by-step instructions
- Photos that show key steps
- Tips for prep ahead, storage and serving
- Extra notes on substitutions and make-ahead
I share appetizers that keep hosting simple. If you make one of my recipes, I'd love to hear how it turned out. Leave a comment under the recipe, or contact me if you have a question.
