For those of you that watch Top Chef, do you ever wonder how the judges can eat all the food they eat and not gain an ounce?  Well,  the judges simple taste the food; they do not eat the entire plate of food served.  And with the products highlighted today on Design Detroit, you to can be adventurous with your palette with small plate options from Pier One. 

The new craze in party throwing is throwing a  tasting party.  Design Detroit suggests hosting a party  where the guests bring one item, and the host presents the food in serving pieces where the serving size is bite size.

These pieces are perfect for small servings of charcuterie.  Of course, not for your vegeterian or vegan friends but for your hardy, meat loving friends.

Whether you are hosting a brunch, having a group over for March Madness, or simply love to cook, keep in mind the presentation.  These pieces from Pier One are sold as sets, but Pier One offers many open stock items to tailor to your serving needs.

A dessert is not a dessert without chocolate.  But when apples or berries are in season, a cobbler with ice cream is a perfect end to a perfect dinner. So how do you chose?  With tasting pieces you can offer guests a sampling of a chocolate dessert, a fruity dessert, and a creamy dessert with a great champagne.  And with these pieces, the presentation is neat and purposeful.

This a great gift for someone who has a new place, is getting married, or simply loves to entertain!

Host a tasting party of your own with awesome serving pieces.  Forget the chicken wings and the spinach dip and take a culinary trip down a new road with a tasting party.

Design a tasting party of your own. And present to impress!
