We lay the table
Photo:social networksServing always starts with a tablecloth. But today, its absence is in fashion. Therefore, you can simply lay a fabric runner in the middle of the table or do without it at all and place only wooden coasters for dishes. As for the dishes themselves, it is better to choose the most ordinary white ones. After all, you probably plan to decorate the table, and flowers, hearts, ribbons and any other decor do not go with painted plates. Snow-white ones will serve as an excellent canvas for your imagination.

Homemade caviar or seafood cocktail will look great in half an avocado, chicken can be served in orange slices, pineapple, cheese salad - in baked champignon caps. There are many options, experiment. For serving main dishes, refuse common deep bowls that you use at large feasts. An evening for two implies privacy, so salads and side dishes are best served in portions. Take a flat white plate, the smallest detachable baking dish, put it in the middle of the dish and tightly pack the salad into the dish, and then remove it. And you will get a neat "washer". The same technique can be used for mashed potatoes. It is also worth taking into service silicone muffin molds of various configurations. Jellied meat freezes perfectly in them. And how beautiful jellied stars and hearts look on plates! By the way, gelatin is an ingredient not only for desserts and main courses. Make an unusual cocktail, for example, from champagne and berry pulp, add gelatin to it, pour into glasses, let it harden - and the edible drink is ready.
