Total Time: 2 mins Preparation Time: 2 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 paper, serviette (large)
• 1 cloth, serviette (large)

Recipe

• 1 lay your serviette square out flat before you. fold it in half horizontally.
• 2 take the serviette and fold it in half again vertically so that it is now a small square a quarter the size of the original square.
• 3 only one corner of the square will have 4 open / loose edges, rotate your square so that it is a flat diamond shape with the open corner pointing downwards. we will call this the south corner, and the top corner opposite north.
• 4 take the uppermost of the loose points at the south position and fold it up to meet the north point.
• 5 take the next loose point at south position and also fold it towards the north point but stop short of it so that you have a triangle within a triangle.
• 6 repeat with the remaining two loose points so that you now have a set of ever decreasing triangles on the front of your triangular serviette. if you have time, press these with an iron so that you have crisp sharp creases.
• 7 now carefully turn your serviette over so that the point of the triangle is in the north position.
• 8 take the right corner at the bottom and bring it up towards the top point at north, but instead of flattening it, make it into a soft curl. repeat with the left corner so that you have before you a diamond shape with two rolled in sides meeting in the middle.
• 9 turn the serviette over carefully so that the curled ends are underneath, and making sure that it stays raised, place into a plate. either leave plain for dramatic effect or full the inside hollow with grapes, flowers, bon bons -- .
