From party dips like hummus, to classic aioli, this collection holds an inspiring set of dip recipes that are great for grazing or feeding the hoards at a party. Homemade dips put the shop-bought varieties to shame, as you can adjust the flavour to your liking and add 'secret' ingredients to make the recipes your own.

Nathan Outlaw's tasty Cheddar cheese and chive mayonnaise is a versatile dip that works well with a range of flavours, while Adam Gray's flatbread and dips includes recipes for the perfect basil and parsley pesto, prawn and grapefruit cocktail and roasted cherry tomato salsa. If you're whipping up a mezze platter, try Monica Shaw's moutabal recipe or Shaun Rankin's taramasalata.
