# Expert Tips:

01 -

It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen, but it's honestly just 25 minutes of satisfying arrangement.
No cooking required—perfect when you want to entertain without sweating over a stove.
It works for literally any occasion, from casual wine nights to fancy dinner parties.

02 -

Your platter doesn't need to be perfectly symmetrical to work—the eye forgives small imbalances if the colors feel balanced.
Cut your cheese first and your fruit last; cheese can sit for a bit, but fruit oxidizes and loses its shine.
