The post How to Make Your Veggie Spread an Artistic Masterpiece appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>Choose a Color Palette
Think of your platter as a canvas, and your veggies as the paint. Bright reds (bell peppers, tomatoes), vibrant greens (cucumbers, broccoli), deep purples (eggplants, beets), sunny yellows (summer squash, bell peppers), and earthy oranges (carrots, sweet potatoes) will make a visually arresting display.
Composition is Key
Create patterns or shapes with your veggies, or arrange them in a gradient from light to dark. Consider using techniques like radial arrangements, where veggies radiate out from a central point, or creating a mosaic effect with small, diced vegetables.
Add Edible Decorations
Finally, elevate your veggie spread by incorporating edible flowers, fresh herbs, or even fruit for a touch of sweetness. Flowers like nasturtiums, violets, and marigolds are great options. Herbs like basil, dill, and cilantro can add freshness and aroma, enhancing the overall appeal of your spread.

]]>The gherkin manufacturers, which first began operating in 1942, have drawn inspiration from what they know and created the world’s first candle that smells like a jar of pickles!
The unusual item is a collaboration with the brand Candier by Ryan Porter which is known for making candles with amusing scents with funny names like “know your worth and add tax,” and “I’m not coming unless there’s wine”.
“We saw a huge opportunity to do something really fun and different with Vlasic in celebration of National Pickle Day. But creating a candle that looks and smells like a real jar of pickles posed several big challenges,” said Krysten Kauder who founded Candier. “Getting the wax pickles to look like they’re floating in clear liquid was really tough. So, everything had to be done by hand, including the placement of the pickles and pouring of the wax. After lots of rounds of research and testing, our team nailed it and produced a 100% wax candle that looks and smells like a jar of Vlasic pickles.”
Just don’t be tempted to grab a gherkin!

]]>The Beauty of Balance
In all art forms, and in life as well, there is a profound balance at work. This balance is between the source, or the foundation—and the exploration. Another way to describe it would be healthy teamwork between rules and experimentation. This balance is a cornerstone of art, and it’s hugely important in the kitchen as well.
Breaking The Rules
Art isn’t just about doing whatever you feel like. It’s about practicing rules and believing in the foundations of what came earlier. Once these rules become second nature, at that point an artist can break free from the mold and try something new. This is certainly true with cooking, for only after a chef understands the essentials for a dish can he or she explore their unique voice within that recipe. So yes—cooking is certainly an art form, and a proud one at that!

]]>Fruit Platter
Fruit platters are one of Naturally Zuzu’s specialties, and they’re basically a dessert that you can make without any special preparation. Mangoes are one of her go-to ingredients and this Instagram-friendly platter is the perfect example.
Mango Ginger Loaf Cake
If you want to take your baking skills to the next level, Khawaja’s loaf cake recipes will get you there. This mango loaf cake infused with ginger tea is one of her best sweet treats that fall under this category.
No-Bake Mango Tart
No-bake tarts also make regular appearances on the food blog Naturally Zuzu. This is one of her very best because it puts mangos to some good use and combines them with a long list of tasty ingredients.
Mangonadas
If you want to consume your mangos in a liquid form, blend them with some fresh oranges and coconut water to get the most refreshing mangonadas.

To create your very own bread art start by using a basic tomato herb focaccia and substituting the tomatoes for capers, kalamata olives, peppers, grape tomatoes, and fresh herbs.
VineyardBaker recommends waiting for the dough to rise before pressing the vegetables into the bread and if you’re using wet vegetables, pat them dry after you slice them. This will help prevent your bread from getting soggy.
The Instagrammer’s work isn’t limited to nature motifs. In addition to flower-topped focaccia, she makes sourdough bread with intricate patterns and fun shapes like football pretzel rolls, that she whipped up for the Super Bowl.

puns really sting, I’m gonna stop pollen your leg & waxing on, cuz I’m just winging it & honey, you & I both know I don’t have a clue wasp I’m talking about. With over 270 thousand followers on Instagram, she has turned her passion for eggs, flour, and water into something spectacular.
Linda spends her days creating vibrant pasta with natural dyes. But she doesn’t stop there. She is famous for turning her colorful pasta into daringly creative compositions.
She keeps her Instagram page up to date with tons of photos of her creations. “Pasta is like a textile,” she once said in an interview. “You can really manipulate it and feel it beneath your hands and understand it texturally.”
She is not only a star on social media, but in the classroom as well. Linda’s work became so popular that fans begged her to start teaching cooking lessons – so she did. She teaches pasta making classes in Seattle for all cooking levels.
#WorldPride is a big one this year, it being 50 years since the Stonewall Uprising that put gay, civil, & human rights at the forefront of a movement we should continue to honor 365 days a year. However you plan to commemorate & celebrate, make sure the love in your heart is evident to those around you. I’ll be spreading joy, sparkles & hugs around #NYC all weekend. If you see me, say hi & share a magical moment.

Sophia) It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself on IG. So Hi!! and a BIG warm welcome & thank you to all the newbies & OG’s! I thought I’d confess some weird/unusual things about me to make it a lil more interesting.
#70k ——————————————— • I have a serious case of cute aggression ~it’s actually a thing~so when I love so much or think something is too cute for words, I want to slap/bite/squish but in a good way!!(My poor kids). I blame my moms side for this. true? @wesugarart —————————————————————— •I was a little cruel to my siblings growing up cuz they’d drive me crazy. I pretty much helped raise them so when they didn’t listen & were so naughty, i’d Pledge the floors & they’d go flying when they ran.
(I cringe at this now but it was so freakin hilarious at 15 yrs old)
————————————————————— •I read a magazine backwards. I start from the last page & go forward. What the hell does that mean psychologically?
—————————————————————- •In my household, we get a thrill out of scaring the hell out of each other. I’m talking hidden plastic spiders, fake rats from our halloween props, etc. Biggest scare of my life was when I was home alone(so i thought) in the shower & when I opened the door my eyes were at level with a mans chest. I nearly dropped to the floor. Not cool John!! That was so cruel 
He actually felt like crap when he saw the sheer terror on my face. Payback is going to be a b$tch! 
(p.s i’ve booked myself in for a psych evaluation after writing these
