Because of Turkey's geographical conditions, one can not speak about a general overall climate. In Istanbul and around the sea of Marmara (Marmara region) the climate is moderate (winter 4 deg.C and summer 27 deg.C); in winter the temperature can drop below zero.
An appetizer is part of a meal that's served before the main course. You might serve your dinner guests an appetizer of crab-stuffed mushrooms when they first arrive for dinner. Usually, an appetizer is a small serving of food â just a few bites â meant to be eaten before an entree, and often shared by several people.
If you decide to throw an all-appetizer party, make sure you provide a variety of options: chips and dip, warm spreads, easy pick ups, and even one-bite salads can be combined to set out the perfect spread. You'll like these easy finger foods so much that you might even skip dessert. 1  Photo: Johnny Miller; Styling: Sarah Smart. 2  Photo: Erin Adams; Styling: Buffy Hargett. 3  Photo: Johnny Autry; Styling: Cindy Barr.
