Consider your dinner recipe and what dessert recipe goes well to make a balanced taste. Avoid heavy or spicy dishes back to back. Balance rich dishes with simple ones. Don't serve too many spicy foods in one meal. Don't serve successive sweet dishes, such as chicken basted with currant jelly, mixed fruit salad and strawberry trifle dessert recipe.
As the final dish, you want to serve dessert properly. Set out the dessert fork or spoon when you first set the table. Choose the "dessert container," such as a small plate or glass stemware, once you decide what dessert you will prepare so you can visualize how your final presentation will appeal to the eye. For example, set crystal stemware on a crystal dish with a stem of mint leaves.
