When you want to make an entrance.

We love to cook and entertain.  It is an exercise in creativity, and when you’ve tested your culinary limits by creating something special, the food should be presented to its adoring public on an equally special platter or serving piece.  The serving piece should be eye-catching and play to the strengths of what has been created.

I love this Oslo Marble decorative tray by Humdakin.  It is elegant, eye-catching, and versatile.  It doesn’t need to stay in the kitchen.  It could display objéts in the living room but be pressed into service for a special culinary creation.  $39.51.

As a friend told me when she brought me a lovely house present, every kitchen needs a plain, white serving piece once in a while.  I agree with her.  It might be because whatever you are serving is so complex, colorful, or otherwise eye catching you don’t want the platter to fight with it. Here is your noncompetitive serving platter.  It’s called the Costa Nova Pearl Oval Platter.  It is made in Portugal from handcrafted glazed stoneware.  It is dishwasher safe, although hand washing is recommended.  It is not microwave safe. It is 20” L x 14.5” W x 2.25” H.  It’s a great size.  $128.00.
