How to Serve Finger Food

Ease the mess for guests with these presentation tips for casual entertaining.

• Morsels should be small enough to be eaten in one mouthful.
• Check the temperature. Hot food doesn’t mean hot enough to burn your tongue.
•If you’re putting out communal food platters, such as antipasto or tapas, be sure to supply toothpicks or mini-forks. And provide an empty bowl for the used forks, olive stones or prawn tails.
•Don’t stack multilayered sandwiches in a continuous line, arrange them so that its easy to pick out an individual serve neatly.
