Inspiration for a Springtime Spread
This photograph was taken when foods were being carted into a room for a magazine photo shoot. It has always left an impression on me. The vibrant colours and creativity that go into a beautiful spread like the one that was being made here can truly be turned into a work of art. Below are tips on how to create your own masterpiece.
Springtime Spread Tips
- Wrap Prosciutto around asparagus (steamed) or Italian Breadstick Crackers.
- Roll many slices of salami and place in a pretty crystal bowl.
- Use springtime colors that complement each other like that of the peach Brebirousse d’Argental, peaches, carrots, raspberries, grapes, blueberries, deviled eggs and shrimp.
- Place yellow miniature tomatoes decoratively around a velvety white Chateau de Bourgogne.
- Place shrimp on the rim of a martini glass and fill with a dipping sauce.
- Create mini blueberry or raspberry shish-kebobs using long toothpicks.
- Cake plates and crystal bowls allow for different heights, which is visually pleasing.
- Green garnish and bibs of lettuce are key to filling empty spaces.
