Pick your own produce \u2013 Chat to your local green grocer about what\u2019s fresh and in season.<br \/>\n2. If you don\u2019t have any styling items at home, place a dinner plate on top of a bowl to create height, similar to a cake stand, adding dimension to your grazing table.<br \/>\n3. Use big, whole pieces of fruit such as oranges, pineapple and coconuts as your decorative elements. Contrast this with berries or dried fruits to bring vibrancy &#038; colour to your table.<br \/>\n4. Slice one or two of your cheeses into cubes making it easy for your guests to pick up and eat.<br \/>\n5. Have something available for all dietary requirements such as vegan and coeliac, so that no one misses out at your party. Also be aware of anyone with allergies.<br \/>\n6. Always line your surface with baking paper for hygiene purposes \u2013 this also makes cleaning up much easier!<br \/>\n7. Depending on how big your grazing table is, start your preparation earlier in the day. I recommend setting up 30mins (15mins in summer) before your guests arrive so that cheeses can get to room temperature.<br \/>\n8. Don\u2019t leave any gaps! When you think the platter is complete there is always room to add a little more<br \/>\n9. Learn a few facts about your ingredients, such as where your cheeses come from or how they are made. I guarantee your platter will be a huge talking point so it\u2019s always good to know.<br \/>\n10. Take note of what people will be drinking so you can pair them with your ingredients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8896,"template":"","blog-category":[179],"class_list":["post-8895","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","blog-category-hosting-at-home"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
