Also try serving the saucy side dish in either an individual small dish on the larger plate or some sort of shell- pastry etc.. to keep everything neat. Even when serving your fish on Shabbos, put the chrein or dip in tiny glass bowl. Different color large lettuce or purple cabbage leaves are also a great base for rice. And the most important tip is to use all your gorgeous plates, platters, bowls....DON"T SAVE THEM!

To a green salad, add red tomamtoes & yellow pepper strips. To any main dish, I like to present with dark broccli & orange sweet potato. Or yellow corn & blueberry tart. I do have a really pretty & quick dessert that is Recipe #12183 (see that picture)

I usually match brown, beige, or white foods with colorful spices, opposite/brightly-colored vegetables or fruit, and herbs. For example: I put fried eggs on a sice of bread, and garnish with dots of hot sauce or some red pepper flakes and a sprig of fresh herbs. Potaoes I usually just dice up, mix with one or two diferent colors of vegetables, and mix with some olive oil for shine. And for breakfast porridges, I like to blend all the water or milk I'll be using with the most vibrant-colored fruit I can find and cook it like that. I have become so giddy over a plate of food before, because it was so pretty that I didn't want to eat it.
