Trendy Platter Ideas

With my taste buds salivating, we moved onto extraordinary ideas for transforming two comfort foods into party foods: fall squash soup and Parmiagianno cheese crisps.

 Soup

Presenting the Chef's fall squash soup or any pureed soup you make or buy at Whole Foods (shh, I won't tell your friends) is as easy as 1-2-3.

The saffron colored soup looked amazing atop the orange squash discs and seasonings---this promises to wow your guests!

Cheese

A great way to show off a hot appetizer is with a cheese wheel platter.

We wanted to highlight a key ingredient of the Chef's zesty Parmiagiano Salsify Cheese Crisps.

Chef Olivier suggested utilizing the Parmiagianno cheese as the elegant platter. To accomplish this, just ask your Cheese Man to cut you a 10-inch Parmiagianno wedge including its signature rind.

Whip up the fun crisp recipe then follow these easy steps to transform your platter into an unforgettable Puttin' on the Ritz party hors d'oeuvre:
