What do the best sharing platters have on them?
Creating a world-class food platter can be a complex task. Believe it or not, it is not as simple as chucking your pantry scraps onto a plate. Producing a platter that will have sensory appeal needs much thought and consideration.

Yup – one simple task may require weeks of shopping and planning. Better to start organising it sooner rather than later.

Below are some examples of what a quality grazing platter may contain:

• Hot food platter: crumbed chicken, fish fingers, party pies, mini sausage rolls, mini quiches, frankfurts, warm bread, sauces and dips.
• Cold food platter: cheese wheels, nuts, dried fruits, dips, crackers, vegetable sticks, sourdough.
• Dessert platter: popcorn, brownies, cookies, chocolate bars or squares, tarts, cups of yoghurt.
