Some tips for presentation of finger food.

A simple decoration can make food look special. It is advisable that we use colourful ingredients or veggies for garnishing. Mixing green and red veggies enhance visual appeal.

Keep shape straight lines, and also clean. It should not be too much, instead it should be a bite size portion for easy handling.

Toothpicks and skewers can also used for this purpose. Use fresh herbs, lemon slices and lettuce leaves for garnish. Good lighting on the table makes food look more attractive and appetizing.

Napkins and small spoons make eating easy.Always use clean white plates for final look. A clean table cloth or tray adds a finishing touch.
