Thank you so much for watching my video. You should try it. You may not get it perfectly the 1st time. But after 4 or 5 times, you will be a pro. Be safe👍🏻
You make it look so easy…I can do that. Learned new way to cut the melons and pineapple wonderfully easy; so much easier than all those melon balls. Beautiful display. Saved for later, definitely a keeper .
Absolutely beautiful work! I do fruit catering for a living as well. I just did almost this exact platter today for a customer. They only wanted the cantaloupe/honeydew/pineapple/kiwi & berries. I love making all diff platters. We also have a favorite that most customers go for. It’s called the fruit Rainbow. Anyways I just wanted to say I loved your video. I just subscribed to your channel. I look forward to checking out your other videos.

Good luck Julia with your upcoming event. If you do try to do a platter like this, this single most important part is slicing your fruit even thickness. I do have a bunch of other fruit videos to give you other ideas. Thank you so much for watching. Stay safe
Hi Gerry, I am not sure what you meant by " pull the stem from the pineapple." Which part of the pineapple 🍍 are you talking about. Im very curious. Thank you so much for watching 👍🏻 Be well

Hi Alexandra, I normally charge $3.50 per person for fruit. This platter feeds 30 to 40 people comfortably. So this platter is between $100 and $130. If you decide to make one, please send me a picture. I would love to see it. CookingwithChefRich@gmail.com Thank you so much for watching. Be well
Absolutely Beautiful! I really wish I had the ability to do something so incredibly appealing . I just subscribed to your channel, looking forward to seeing other masterpieces and hopefully trying my hand at a couple.
With the pineapple if you stand it up and pick a leaf dead center and pull it very gently. If it comes out with no resistance it's ripe. With the watermelon rind it can be pickled and canned
Hi Kennapace, I will definitely try the pineapple trick and pass this info on to my viewers. I honestly do not do any canning. But I will also mention it in upcoming videos as well. Thank you for teaching me something new 🙏 Be well, my friend 👍🏻
Hi Maria, You can use almost any size or shape platter you like ( or have, as long as they are flat. The platter in the picture is a silver plated platter, probably 20 inches long and 12 inches wide. This will feed 45 to 60 people comfortably. If you watch my other fruit videos, I use plastic, stainless steel, silver-plated, and even framed mirrors. The mirrors have a back on them because the weight of the fruit would break the mirror. The beautiful part of using different size platters is that each one comes out differently. Thank you so much for watching 👍🏻 If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to me. You can always email me @ CookingwithChefRich@gmail.com. Be well
This video helped me to improve my fruit platter. Had no idea how to start but this definitely helped alot. Also what knife are you using? Thanks again 🙌🏼
Hi Carl, Thank you for watching my video. I am glad that you found it helpful. The knifes that I use are, Forschners, made by Victorinox. It is the same company that produces Swiss Army. Be well
Hi, More often than not, the papaya is left over. Once in a while, someone will cut off a piece or even take the whole thing. But not usually. I am a caterer, and people always eat with their eyes before they they taste the food. The papaya is more for visual effect. Thank you for watching my video. I hope that you enjoyed it 😊 Be well
Hi, The very best way to keep fruit fresh overnight is to take a double layer of paper towels, moisten with cold water, and place over fruit. Wrap well with plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator. Very important - you shouldn't do any berries the day before. They always need to be done at the last minute. Both raspberries and strawberries get soft after you wash them, and the colors of berries bleed into the other fruit if left overnight. Lastly, papaya, kiwi, and oranges should be wrapped separately in plastic wrap and added with the berries. I wish you the best of luck. Please send me a picture of your platter. I would love to see it. CookingwithChefRich@gmail.com Thank you for watching 👍🏻
Chef Rich, I Don’t mean to sound ignorant but when it comes to papaya I am. In making the papaya flower, before you start making your v’s all the way around, am I supposed To peel the rind off the papaya or do the v’s go right through the entire papaya, rind and all? Thank you and I love your work!
Hi Mary, I welcome your questions. Wash your papaya first. Then cut straight through the rind. You need the rind on to make the pedals at the end. Thank you for watching. Stay safe 🙏🏼 Chef Rich
