Cooking Sweet & Spicy Grilled Pineapple at home for your next get-together or party

Appetizers are perfect to kick off a meal. They're designed to get your appetite going and prepare you for what's coming next. Appetizers are often the first food that's served in a meal, so they need to be flavorful and present the same or similar flavors as the main dish.

A successful appetizer should be visually appealing and easy to eat, while also offering flavor, texture, and smell.
