Delicious Dips

Everyone loves to ‘chip and dip’. Featuring more than 50 recipes from light and healthy snacks to rich and creamy recipes for sharing, here you’ll find a dip for every taste and occasion.

Sociable and relaxed party food; indulgent TV-night grazing, or a healthier alternative to high-fat salty snacks, dips continue to be enduringly popular. Whether made from pulses, nuts and seeds; vegetables, fruit and herbs; fish and meat; or yogurt and cheese, the possibilities for color, texture, and flavor are endless.

Make your own familiar classics from fresh ingredients and taste Guacamole, Hummus, Ranch, and Blue Cheese dips as you’ve never tasted them before. Discover fresh flavors with Artichoke and Olive Dip with Fennel-seed Grissini; Avocado and Miso Dip; Eggplant and Tahini; Cream Cheese, Walnut, and Celery, Caramelized Onion with Toasted Pine Nuts, and Mango, Kiwi and Cilantro Salsa. Try rich and creamy American-style hot dips including Buffalo Chicken Wing, Maryland Crab Dip, or the indulgent Hot Philly Steak Dip.

Whether served with toasted pita bread strips, seeded crackers, crisp tortilla chips, or crunchy raw vegetable sticks, there is a dipper to suit every dip and pairings and recipes are also included here. Armed with these deliciously easy recipes there is no excuse not to get scooping and sharing.
