Serving up in Style
Meet the perfect hostess: her home is tastefully decorated and her sofas are cozy and inviting. She lights vanilla scented candles to freshen up the living room and switches on lamps to create the perfect ambiance when her friends call her to say they are coming over. She throws together a combo of savoury and sweet items on the shortest notice and serves it all on the perfect tray for her guests.
Choosing the perfect tray for your GTs and tea parties can make what you are serving look even more exciting. It adds to it all when the tray matches with the plates and dishes you are using and even more when it goes with the general décor of your living or drawing room. We discovered that there are various types and sizes on offer - the variety ranges from trays with modern patterns to very traditional ones. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the made-in-Pakistan trays.
