by Bertrand Munier Owner
As much as you are concerned about recipes according to the taste of your guests, you must also pay considerable attention to presenting the dishes aesthetically. After all, the first impression is the last impression, isn’t it? So, here are some tips to plate cold starters for dinner parties and grab your guests’ attention.

Most of the times, people come to a conclusion for whether they want to try a particular dish or not by looking at its presentation. Of course, when it comes to food, looks do matter. Until and unless a dish doesn’t looking appealing, you may not want to try it.

So, if you are organising a dinner party for your guests and are short of presentation ideas, do not sweat. Listed below are some useful tips that will help you decorate your menu in a tempting way.

1. Crockery Matters:

When it comes to decorating cold starters for dinner party, having a striking set of crockery can up your game instantly. Do not serve starters in regular and boring crockery. Experiment with patterns, colours, and textures. For instance: If you are serving starters which are vibrant in colour, you can use plates with pale textures and vice versa.

2. Experiment with Shapes:

Another thing that can make your dishes look enchanting is by experimenting with shapes. Try ditching those dishes that are almost similar in shapes. You have countless of options to experiment with. Be it chopping vegetables in different shapes for garnishing or ordering something with a unique curve; experimenting is the key.

3. Keep the Balance:

This one seems like a rule of thumb of presenting your food items. Neither your plate should be fully loaded nor almost empty. You must strive to keep a balance. Moreover, a plate that carries an accurate amount of food is easy to style and garnish. So, make sure that you do not jumble up everything even if you are serving 2-3 items at a time.

4. Use Different Things for Garnishing:

When it comes to garnishing starters, there are several options to choose from. Right from edible garnishing, fruits, vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, to something sweet, make your choices carefully as per your starter dishes. Again, you can try and test with different shapes, designs, and ingredients here.

5. Finishing:

Last but not the least, provide a perfect finishing to your starter dishes that will enhance their overall look even more. Be it brushing them up a bit with chocolate syrup or pouring different types of sauces on them, make sure that your finishing touch is up-to-the-mark as it will make all the difference.

Decorating starters is not a tough job only if you are aware of how to do it right. You do not have to be a pro to garnish or decorate your food items. Just follow these tips and serve something striking yet delicious to your guests.
