Method

  1. Step 1

    Select serving boards or platters to suit ingredients.

  2. Step 2

    Place larger items and prepapred recipes on boards first, making them the focal point of your platter. 

  3. Step 3

    Add bowls of nuts, yogurts and dips.

  4. Step 4

    Add other small elements such as boiled egg halves, berries, fruit, veggies and crackers to fill in the gaps around the main plates.

Tips

  • Whenever possible work with odd numbers of similar items, such as three small bowls of dips.
  • When it comes to dishes, anything goes - from your Nan's old cake tin to ceramic ramekins or clean jars from the back of the cupboard!
  • Try popping chopped veggies on skewers or creating fruit shapes with cookie cutters.
