    Method

    1. Step 1

      Select serving boards or platters to suit ingredients.
    2. Step 2

      Place larger items and prepared recipes on boards first, making them the focal point of your platter. 
    3. Step 3

      Add smaller items such as cheese, brownies/bliss balls and dips.
    4. Step 4

      Fill in the gaps around the main plates with small items such as nuts, fruit, veggies, berries and crackers.
    5. Step 5

      To finish your platter add decorative flourishes such as fresh herbs or edible flowers.

    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.
