SMOKED SALMON BLINIS
For the blinis, whisk together eggs, coconut flour, salt and pepper. Stir in shredded and peeled courgettes and blend well, then spoon tablespoons of the batter onto a pan with butter. Flip, and set aside when cooked. Add the blinis to a platter, top with cream cheese and smoked salmon and sprinkle with chopped chives.

ASAPARAGUS WRAPPED IN PROSCUITTO
Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear and place on a lightly-oiled grill. Turn occasionally and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the prosciutto is golden and the asparagus is bright green and tender crisp.

ANTIPASTI SKEWERS
Thread each skewer with 1 olive, 1 cherry tomato, 1 courgette cube, 1 prosciutto-wrapped bell pepper, 1 mushroom, 1 salami cube, 1 olive and 1 tomato; in that order. Pour over a vinaigrette made with oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; then grill for about 4-5 mins.

AUBERGINE & RICOTTA ROLLS
This canapé is as simple as grilling aubergine slices with a drizzle of oil, making the mixture using ricotta cheese and oregano (seasoned with salt and pepper), and rolling the aubergine around a dollop of mixture.

KOFTA KEBABS WITH RAITA
Mix together minced meat, chopped onion, chopped jalapeno, spices and seasoning in a bowl and make into mini koftas. Bake for 20 minutes, and while you're waiting, make the raita with yogurt, finely chopped cucumber (with the moisture removed) and mint.
