Thermomix Starters

Thermomix starters set the tone of a meal and make guests curious. This category gathers salads, puff pastry bites, verrines and both cold and hot starters. Each recipe is quick to prepare, and the Thermomix handles the chopping, the mixing and the cooking.

Light ideas for Thermomix starters

Cold starters work well in warm weather and need no last-minute work. A fresh salad, a tomato and herb verrine or a creamy dip served with vegetables are all easy to prepare ahead. The bowl chops raw vegetables in seconds and blends smooth mousses without effort.

Hot starters, however, suit winter. Small puff pastry bites with cheese or vegetables bake in fifteen minutes. A velvety soup in a small cup also makes an elegant opening to the meal.

Verrines and finger food

Verrines look beautiful, and guests enjoy them. Layer a mousse, a diced vegetable and a crunchy topping in a small glass. Chill them for an hour. Because they are served individually, you avoid cutting and serving at the table.

Finger food suits aperitifs. Prepare mini quiches, cheese puffs or vegetable skewers. Moreover, you can freeze many of them unbaked and bake them at the last minute.

Think about color, too. A green verrine next to a red tomato salad and a golden puff pastry bite makes the table look festive, even when each recipe is very simple.

Plan your menu

Choose a starter that matches the main dish. After a rich meat dish, serve something fresh. Before a light fish dinner, offer something warm. Keep portions small, so guests still enjoy the rest of the meal.
