Throwing a quick meal together prior to company coming over is easier than you think. The best dinners that I remember attending were the ones that visually made an impact. Maybe I don’t remember the food so well, but I remember the ambiance for sure. A quick and easy way to do this as home is to throw down an organic table cloth (linen for example). Place the food graphically on the plate or neatly in little bowls. The key is to have an overall uniformed look, staying within one color pallet is the easiest way to achieve this. I recommend white/taupe.. all food looks beautiful on white dishes.
