I love entertaining friends and family, but hate using paper plates
and the aluminum disposable serving trays or even tupperware to set up the food table. In my opinion, unless it is a kiddy birthday party, a woman should try to use as much of her trays and dishes as possible when hosting a dinner party.
Believe me even if the food you display is take out or catered, just by having them arranged in your personal collection of trays and racks says alot about you.
Two of my most used and favorite serving trays are the Cambridge Baker with Rack and the Cambridge 2 Tier Server from Crate and Barrel. I am a firm believer that since food is colorful enough, the trays they are presented on should be either white or bone in color in order to compliment the dish.
The other reason I swear by these trays is because they are versatile enough to use throughout the year and have handles which make them easy to move from kitchen to table and back for more servings. I also love the European look and feel to them and of course porcelain is always my choice of ceramic dishware for most occassions.
Anyway, the two items are very affordable and can be viewed and purchased at most Crate and Barrel locations or online just in case you live too far from a Crate and Barrel
