Dress up dinner party plates with artistic flair

Your friends have called you an artist in the kitchen, so why not return the sentiment by encouraging them to get a little creative themselves during your next dinner party? Empty paint tubes from your local art-supply store are a fun and novel way to serve individual servings of chocolate mousse or cheesecake. Simply spoon the fillings into the open-bottomed tubes, roll them closed and serve alongside mini “canvases” such as sweet buttery wafers or chocolate biscuits. Add berries, kiwi slices, fresh apricots and other fruits for a splash of colour. If savoury is more your style, start the party by spooning soft flavoured goat cheeses into the tubes and using crackers or flatbreads as backdrops.
