The best servewear to use this season
The holiday season certainly works up an appetite for which you need the best serveware to match the occasion.
When hosting guests, your serveware should do all the talking. These top picks from Edgars Home will ensure you're serving with the best.
The nibbles
Your expert wine and cheese pairings deserve an elegant presentation! Modern platters and classic wine glasses will strike the right balance. Serve your cheese variety with textured snacks such as nuts, biltong and olives to enhance flavour.
The main course
A delicious curry still hits the spot – no matter the season. Deep-bottomed cast iron casserole dishes are best for cooking curry, as they retain and distribute heat evenly, resulting in soft, succulent meat pieces. Serve it in earthy and natural textures to complement the colour palette or go for contrast using white for a simple yet effective style statement.
