What makes the Perfect Platter?

There’s a balance with a platter that makes it a hit or miss. And of course it’s subjective but we believe the key elements are
• it should all be finger food ie; no cutting or at the most one soft cheese with knife but really for a platter better just fingers
• mix up the textures you want some crunch some chewy some fruity some firm
• in this case you definitely eat with your eyes so make an extra effort with presentation. Group elements together. Pay attention to the colours
• i personally don’t think dips work on a platter. Do a chip and dip plate as a separate dish if you must dip
• buy the fancy crackers for this platter they are a centrepiece that carries the platter literally
• I like crudités but you will need your knife skills to be on show so they are uniform and look neat
• a platter is just an appetiser. Even if you intend it to keep a level of sobriety while you drink remember it’s a flavour and variety dish it’s not a filler. If you need a filler do a small plate alongside
• keep the platter out of the sun there’s nothing worse than a hot soggy platter and it risks your food safety. Start with a chilled platter and 2hrs in normal weather in the shade is about the maximum table time
• I’m a protein guy so a nice cold protein like the cacciatore in the picture works for me. It’s easy to handle and has a good fat content so makes excellent finger food
• I think olives are a must. Good olives at that. Go beyond the supermarket olive here if you can. Olives go with most alcoholic drinks so they make the backbone of a tasty platter

Local Spanish mackerel in a tomato curry. This place is the culinary highlight of Darwin’s food scene for us. There are probably three higher level food options here and Ella by Minoli hidden away in a laneway off Smith St is our pick of them make sure you book well ahead especially around weekends
