The aoriginal edges of the plates will give a covered table with a special chic. When serving the table in a French style, the abundance of silver is appropriate. Stylized under ancient silver cutlery, the use of partial polishing will emphasize the beauty and taste of cooked treats.

Dogging Italy
The spirit of this bright country can be reproduced and outside its borders - you just need to cover the table accordingly. Ancient culinary traditions of Italy go back to the era of antiquity. Food culture here is special: the feast does not tolerate the rush and has a lively conversation. The main colorful solution that determines the entire stylistry of serving, of course, will be the colors of the Italian tricolor: green (dining decor), white (paste) and red (textiles or flowers). The gastronomic symbol of Italy - Pasta is usually served on large wide dishes. Punching an unusual alternative (after all, it pleases not only a wonderful kitchen, but also a unique atmosphere) We offer a long narrow dish of Murano glass. There is a bouquet of flowers to displease the table.Any detail, whether it is a figurine or candlestick of an unusual shape, makes the decoration of the table well-thought-out and harmonious. For example, wine filed in a crystal counteal produces a stunning impression. Objects that have once decorated the Tables of Aristocrats, are now an indispensable part of the serving. Decanterchers for wine- can have a different form. Vessels with a wide neck are designed for young wine, and with a plug - for old wines, as their fragrance is thinner and less resistant.

Exquisite Japan
In any country, the food is a noticeable part of the national culture, especially this applies to Japan. You can submit the European Kushan, based on everyday experience, but to do it with Japanese dishes will not work: the difference between customs and traditions is too large, too many nuances.
Japanese cuisine impressed extremely simple. The Japanese are convinced that exquisite food is designed to be not only a means of saturation, but also a holiday for the eyes, joy both for the body and for the soul. The motto of Japanese cooking: "Do not coordinate, and find and open!" The food must cause a number of sensations: look beautiful (so that you can get aesthetic pleasure from the contemplation of the finished dish), be fragrant, moderately hot or cold. The palette of dishes includes five colors - white, black, yellow, red, green. The alphaony clearly pronounced the change of seasons, and each of them is their paints, which is necessarily reflected in the interior of the room, and in the table serving. The season affects the decoration of dishes. Snow color muted blue tone range of the winter period. Red and white are considered festive and harmonize with everything. The remissions of the year should say the form and texture of utensils, taste and color of food. It is well known that there are no knives for dishes of Japanese cuisine. Hashi (chopsticks) are wooden and plastic, quite often they are lacquered, and also decorated with a pearl.
Principles of Japanese art- free composition, asymmetry, emptiness as a decor. Vaeta emptiness objects are free.
