Smart-Casual Canapés is the third chapter from The Sorted Crew's new cookbook, Food with Friends.

Things seem so much more sophisticated when translated into French, but while the word canapé sounds pretty classy, these bite-sized appetisers are actually just finger food. The real trick is to make them look as posh as they sound, so each canapé in this chapter is stupidly simple to make, but when you put four or five together they look really impressive. Recipes include: Jerk Chicken Potato Wedges, Mango, Coriander and Crayfish Sticks, Micro Jackets with Guacamole and Tequila Salmon Gravadlax.

Food with Friends is the second cookbook from The Sorted Crew, with recipes by Ben Ebbrell. It's the ultimate guide for entertaining friends in a fun and fuss-free way, from romantic suppers and family barbecues to curry nights for hungry hordes. Whether you're cooking for two or twenty, Food with Friends by The Sorted Crew is THE book for easy entertaining.


The Sorted Crew came together in their university holidays, sharing their cooking highs and lows with each other in the pub. Headed up by Ben Ebbrell and Barry Taylor, this original group of 8 mates with an interest in food has now grown into a highly engaged online community of hundreds of thousands, that works together to get food challenges sorted. The SortedFood video recipes on YouTube now get millions of views every month. They self-published two recipe books, A Recipe for Student Survival and A Rookie's Guide to Crackin' Cooking, and Beginners... Get Sorted was their first book with Penguin.
