# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent all day in the kitchen when you actually spent twenty minutes arranging beautiful things.
  • Every guest gets to graze their own way—no plating, no serving stress, just abundance within reach.
  • The waterfall effect naturally draws people in and becomes a conversation starter before anyone even tastes a thing.
02 -
  • Prep your ingredients as close to serving time as possible—once fruit is cut, it starts its slow oxidation dance, and even lemon juice buys you limited time.
  • The coupe glass needs to be positioned where it won't tip, and slightly tilting the board under it helps sell the illusion of the waterfall.
  • High-quality ingredients matter more here than anywhere else because you're not cooking or transforming them—they're speaking for themselves.
03 -
  • If your coupe glass keeps sliding, place a tiny damp paper towel underneath it to create grip—it's invisible but changes everything.
  • Arrange this board on a surface that's at natural elbow height for standing guests; you want people to graze comfortably without awkward reaching or bending.
