2 Vegetarian Dips Served W Crudites Baguette Bread

On our 2nd wedding anniversary 2 yrs ago, dh took me to a restaurant 1 hr outside of reykjavik that specialized in lobster & a lovely view of the sunset over the atlantic ocean. We ate just 2 things - their lobster bisque & a pan filled w/sml lobster tails steamed in herbed garlic butter. But they served both w/assorted pesto & tapenade spreads to spread on baguette slices that were tdf wonderful. Since then i have been fascinated w/that genre & then i found these recipes in the *almost vegetarian* cookbook of the australian womens weekly cookbook series. Since i now have lobster in my freezer, i wanted to preserve these recipes for spec occasions here at home. *enjoy* !!
