Food, Fun and Fabulous 68
For setting the table for taverna, I like using an
updated lazy susan concept, which is so much
easier than passing heavy platters. You can find
wooden boards and the necessary mechanics
at a home improvement store and then stain or
paint them to your liking.
Consider using stemless glasses for easy
reaching across the table and small plates—
several per person.
Since the food is the center of attention, you
don't need floral centerpieces, though I have a
pair of fig trees at my home, so I'm partial to
using the branches in decorative vases and the
leaves as underliners on the platters. The leaves
look great under the lamb chops.
Have fun perusing a specialty market for an
array of tasty Greek cheeses, olives, and breads
to complete your menu.
