To food style this dish
Cut sandwiches at an angle (pic as guide) Use real wood slices as plates and place sandwiches on there laying one flat and the other half is leaning against it on an angle. For the soup, mini wooden bowls are always fun but if you go with a color bowl stick to the green bowls (you want the beautiful color of carrot soup to pop so if you don't go earthy go green). *I prefer not to use yellow or orange bowls because it will make the soup look boring and uninteresting. Serve with a beautiful antique silver spoon.
