# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like edible art but requires zero cooking skills—just assembly and arrangement.
  • Your guests will photograph it before they eat it, and honestly, that's half the fun.
  • It tastes fresh and light while feeling fancy enough for a dinner party or casual enough for a kids' snack.
02 -
  • If your breadsticks are too thin or flimsy, they'll tip over—a thicker grissini-style stick makes all the difference.
  • Wash and dry your grapes thoroughly; any excess water will weigh down the parsley and make the whole thing look soggy within an hour.
03 -
  • Stand the breadsticks slightly at an angle rather than perfectly vertical—it looks more natural and catches the light better.
  • If the breadsticks start to soften, swap them out halfway through the party; guests won't notice, but the crunch factor will stay intact.
