L’Authentique Chicken & Sage Paté
Augustines of Central Picked Asparagus (refer recipe suggestion for ingredients)

Nieuwenhuis Farmstead Cheese, Marinated Cloud (Fresh Goat Cheese in oil)

Preparation

Texture and mouthfeel
– creamy, silken, melt-in-the mouth textures combine with bite-tender and crunchy textures to add interest and excite the palate.

Flavour
– cover off, mellow and strong along with savoury, spicy and sweeter flavours. Keep seasonal.

Colour
– we all eat with our eyes so try topping dips with herbs, baby vegetables, seeds and nuts along with a splash of oil to ensure they are so much more appealing.

Freshness
– assemble platter just before serving so everything is as fresh as it can possibly be.

If you are entertaining a lot of people then make up smaller platters and make more so everyone can get to them easily.

If seated, offer small plates and a knife to each person so they can help themselves to more than one thing at a time.

Don’t forget to place a knife, spoon or small tongs beside each offering on your platter. e.g. a spoon or small knife for each dip.

Remember to have plenty of napkins for sticky fingers.

You may need to replenish a platter if it’s starting to look bare and overly messy.
