The role of aesthetics in welcoming guests

Visual beauty is something that everyone loves. Therefore, the presentation of food also plays an important role in enhancing the appeal of your homemade dishes. 

Beautifully arranged and well-presented dishes create a luxurious impression and enhance the dining experience. Guests will feel appreciated through aesthetically pleasing food presentation. 

Thus, choosing tableware with attractive designs can be a simple yet effective way to elevate the visual appeal of your dining table. 
 

Understanding different types of tableware and their functions

Dinner plates, bowls, spoons, forks, and glasses are essential tableware items for Eid. Each item serves a specific function based on its shape and design. 
 

What are plate, deep plate, and side plate?

In the culinary world, plates are not just dining utensils but also have specific uses depending on the type of dish served, such as the OFTAST plate collection from IKEA. 
 

• Plate: a flat plate commonly used for serving main courses such as rice, side dishes, or other dry foods. Its wide and even surface ensures a neat presentation and easy serving. 
• Deep plate: a slightly concave plate designed for dishes with broth, such as soups. Its depth prevents spillage, making it ideal for liquid-based meals. 
• Side plate: a small plate for side dishes like bread, cakes, or salads. 

 

Additional tableware for Eid feasts

Besides plates, several additional tableware items play a crucial role in enhancing Eid feasts. 

These tools help serve food more neatly and conveniently, making the dining experience more comfortable and enjoyable. 
 

• Serving spoon: useful for portioning and serving food properly. It allows guests to serve themselves without using their cutlery. 
• Serving bowl: ideal for serving dishes with broth, such as soup, as it prevents spillage with its depth. 
• Serving tray: used to present and distribute food easily while keeping the dining table organized and visually appealing. 

With these additional items, the food serving process at the dining table will be more organized, practical, and visually attractive.
