Food looks more exciting when it’s well packaged. That means the right garnishes, but also the right plates and glasses. Use your nice cups and glasses to serve food—including the ones you have packed away in the “good china” closet. Use beautiful tea cups to serve yogurt, fruit salad, soup, ice cream, seviche or sides. Think of how many different foods you can serve in a martini glass—from shrimp cocktail to rice pudding. Any food—and especially plain and diet foods—look more elegant and will seem to taste that much better when served in something other than the same old bowl.
