# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking required, but tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.
  • It becomes a conversation starter the moment you set it down.
  • You can prep everything ahead and just arrange it minutes before guests arrive.
  • The mix of creamy, crunchy, sweet, and savory hits all the cravings at once.
02 -
  • The truffle cheeses will taste flat if they're cold straight from the fridge, so bring them to room temperature for at least thirty minutes before serving.
  • Slice the pear just before serving, or toss the slices in a tiny bit of lemon juice to prevent browning and keep that elegant white appearance.
  • Don't arrange everything more than an hour ahead, crackers can absorb moisture and lose their crunch.
03 -
  • If edible silver leaf feels too fussy, skip it and let the natural shimmer of the chocolate wrappers do the work.
  • A small bowl of fleur de sel on the side elevates the whole thing, letting people season their bites to taste.
