Serving utensils are used to serve dishes during a meal. Choose the right cutlery for each dish: use a ladle to serve soups and sauces, a serving spoon for vegetables and pasta, a serving fork for meat and fish, a serving knife for slicing meat and fish, and a pie server for pies and cakes. Serve the dishes on each guest's left: hold the serving cutlery in your right hand and serve the dish on each guest's left. Use flatware to help create an elegant presentation: flatware can be used to present dishes in an elegant and attractive way. For example, you can arrange vegetables in a serving bowl using a serving spoon, or slice meat and arrange it on a serving dish using a serving knife.
