Hosting a large Thanksgiving dinner can be a rewarding experience, as well as a challenging one. If you’re in a serving rut, look at what you have with a new eye. Long items like breadsticks and pretzel rods look charming served in a wide-mouthed vase. Dessert cookies—think oversized homemade chocolate chip cookies—can also be stacked in a cylindrical vase that is an inch or so wider than the cookies. Dramatic displays like this—with a ribbon or garland wrapped here and there—can even serve double-duty as a centerpiece on your buffet.
For an inexpensive new look, consider clean, new kitchen tiles made of stone, ceramic or slate as a background for cheeses. Think beyond the chip-and-dip bowl set and pile that chunky guacamole directly on a platter in a generous heap, surrounded by tortilla chips. You can also place hearty dips in a firm lettuce or cabbage leaf, or more liquid dips in a hollowed bell pepper or small red cabbage, directly on the platter.

When creating a crudité platter, mound veggies in generous heaps, creating the look of an abundant cornucopia. If you’re using a divided platter or condiment dish, don’t feel like you have to place a different item in each section. Place a flower or other garnish in an empty section of the platter, or double up on popular items. And next time you serve up a big salad, heap it generously on the large platter you might use for the holiday ham rather than your old salad bowl.
