Tips for Arranging the Grazing Platter:

Start with the Larger Items: Place bowls of dips, cheese blocks, and any large items like grilled prawns or marinated skewers first.

Add Fresh Fruits and Vegetables: Arrange them around the larger items, creating sections of colour and texture.

Fill in with Smaller Items: Place nuts, crackers, choccie and smaller treats in the gaps.

Garnish: Add fresh herbs, such as rosemary or mint or edible flowers.
