Here are a few simple food garnishing ideas for those who enjoy adding that extra touch and ambiance to  their yom tov seudos.  With the limited Pesach food choices, we chose ideas that can be enjoyed by everyone, using mostly peeled fruits and vegetables.

Wishing you a beautiful Yom Tov!

Here’s a cute meal that can serve as entertainment plus lunch at the same time.

Not only will your children enjoy making and eating these, it will spark creativity and they might even come up with cute edible ideas on their own.

This protein-packed quinoa salad is brightened up with fresh summer nectarines and  green scallions balanced with earthy baby bella mushrooms and pistachios. A light and gentle honey mustard dressing tops it off.

This bed of roses is no garden variety. With a few vibrant colors veggies, you can make any quiche into a Shavuos worthy centerpiece!

Though during the year I try to keep my salads to the healthier side, for Tu B'shvat I treat my family and guests, to something a little more exotic. When I tasted this salad by my cousin Leah’les house some time ago, I knew it was one that I’d want to share. Whether you plate it and serve it to start off the meal, or serve it with the main, it’s sure to be a big hit.

As holiday season approaches we present this...

Bursting with color, this refreshing  presentation is a feast for the eyes and the palette too! Even your biggest veggie skeptics won’t be able to resist the appealing “crunch”. 

To be honest, my kitchen is closer to my sukkah  than to my dining room, so I do not have to think twice about using China on Sukkos, but my children love  hearing how their grandparents managed in an apartment building during Sukkos! They would pass all the dishes and food up and down with a pulley system to the alley of the building below.

Whether you live high up in an apartment building or you're  hosting  lots of guests over yom tov,  we thought it would be a great time to feature interesting ways to make use of the plethora of plasticware available.

Mix and match your favorite toppings to create this personal salad bar.

Enjoy this fresh and novel idea which brings your classic sandwich to a new level. With it’s eye catching presentation, these delightful sandwich alternatives will enhance your next event and are certain to be a real crowd pleaser. The attractive variety of crisp vegetables add that sensational appeal.
