• A beautifully arranged platter is part of the experience! Pull out your favorite serving board or get creative with everyday utility. A wooden cutting board and small bowls easily elevate the presentation to restaurantesque.
• Atmosphere is just as important as the food. Put on some music, pour a glass of wine, put down the devices, and enjoy conversation.
• Perfect for a late meal once the kids have had theirs, or even after they have been tucked in bed.
