Food Platters are one of the best things you can serve at a party. It’s easy to prepare, and it looks fancy, but your guests won’t know when they are eating chicken kabobs or jam sandwiches. They’ll think you slaved in the kitchen for hours when you only needed ten minutes. Plus, it’s inexpensive to make and it will help feed a lot of people. The best part is your guests are going to love it!
One of the most important tools for a food platter is a wonderful serving tray. You can find them at your local department store for about $10.00 or online at amazon.com for less than $5.00(depending on what size). These are invaluable. You don’t have to be a very good cook to make a beautiful platter.
The recipes for the food you’ll be serving your guests are simple and can be adjusted to taste. Your platter’s center is the main dish, so you don’t want to over-spice it. The meat and vegetables are the sides, so you don’t want to over-season them.
One thing you need to know about those clashing color rules is that the food on your platter should match, but it doesn’t have to be exact. You can use a piece of food with a strong color as an accent and surround it with softer-looking pieces.
