The individual cutlery is not practical for the service. It is advisable to use cutlery of service which better fulfill this office and will give an additional cachet to your hospitality: pie server or cake server, soup ladle or sugar ladle, spreader or cheese knife ... Their particular functional shape, size and elegance will honor the guests treated with this thoughtfulness.
Serving utensils are used to serve dishes during a meal. Choose the right cutlery for each dish: use a ladle to serve soups and sauces, a serving spoon for vegetables and pasta, a serving fork for meat and fish, a serving knife for slicing meat and fish, and a pie server for pies and cakes. Serve the dishes on each guest's left: hold the serving cutlery in your right hand and serve the dish on each guest's left. Use flatware to help create an elegant presentation: flatware can be used to present dishes in an elegant and attractive way. For example, you can arrange vegetables in a serving bowl using a serving spoon, or slice meat and arrange it on a serving dish using a serving knife.
How do you arrange cutlery on a table for an elegant meal?
Arranging cutlery elegantly enhances the dining experience. Start from the outside and work inwards. Place forks on the left, knives and spoons on the right. Align them with equal spacing, handles facing out. Soup spoons can go to the right of knives. Dessert cutlery sits horizontally above the plate, with the fork pointing left and the spoon to its right.
