For me it is always about taste accompanied by how my plate looks when ready to serve. I am trying this recipe for the first time tonight for my sons girlfriends parents (first meeting of the families) and want everything perfect.

I guess I have to buy some nice little casserolettes to place on the main dinner plate surrounded by the vegies??? I thought I'd accompany with the french green beans and the baked carrots, both easy additions and figure out some other garnish

yeah shopping!

I have prepared the steamed clams with saki twice now and both times they are a huge hit. I take an oblong plate and put a soup bowl on one end and a glass of warmed saki on the other and the bowl is of course full of clams.
