# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours at a farmers market, but takes only 25 minutes from fridge to table.
  • No cooking, no mess, and everyone remembers the platter long after the fruit is gone.
  • Works for any occasion—brunch, dinner parties, or when you need something beautiful fast.
02 -
  • Prep your fruits in small bowls before you start arranging—this keeps everything cold and lets you adjust as you go.
  • Cut apples and pears last and brush them with lime juice the moment the knife hits them; browning happens fast and ruins the color story.
  • Don't overthink the arrangement; overlapping fruit looks more abundant and less like a geometry lesson.
03 -
  • Chill your platter in the freezer for ten minutes before you start arranging—cold surfaces keep fruit fresher longer.
  • Use a sharp paring knife and cut fruits to similar sizes so the eye reads each section as cohesive rather than chaotic.
