Simple Sandwiches Made Beautiful
Have you ever wondered why some sandwiches look so much more appealing than others, even when they're made with exactly the same ingredients?
Sometimes, it's the little things that make all the difference.
- Neater edge
- A pop of colour
- A simple garnish, or
- A more thoughtful arrangement
These little details can turn an everyday sandwich into something that looks right at home on an afternoon tea table, at a bridal shower, baby shower, special birthday, etc. The best thing is you don't even need fancy ingredients or complicated recipes.
In this weeks video - How to make simple sandwiches look beautiful - I'm making three simple afternoon tea sandwiches and show you how to make them look extra special.
We make smoked salmon with cream cheese and dill sandwiches, classic cucumber sandwiches, and sandwiches with feta, roasted capsicum and fresh basil.
Along the way, I share a few of my favourite tricks, including why I like to use frozen bread, which knife gives you the neatest edges, and how a simple garnish can transform the finished sandwich.
Taryn's Tip
When you're making sandwiches for a platter, try mixing up the shapes. Circles, squares and finger sandwiches can make a platter much more interesting than having everything cut the same way. It adds a little variety in the colours and height, and suddenly even then simplest fillings look more inviting.
It's a small change, but one that's easy to try next time you're entertaining.
The difference between sandwiches that haven't been carefully made and a beautiful spread of flavours.
If you enjoy making sandwiches and wraps for parties or special occasions, I've also put together two eBooks to help you create beautiful results with confidence:
The spread recipes used in the video are also on my website if you want to give them a go:
I hope this weeks video inspires you to look at everyday food a little differently. Sometimes, all it takes is a few extra minutes to make something simple feel special!
Happy Plating,
Taryn
