# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get to make it look fancy without any actual cooking or complicated techniques.
  • It's the kind of dish that makes people slow down and actually taste things instead of just grabbing and eating.
  • You can prep everything in advance and just do the swirling five minutes before guests arrive.
02 -
  • Overmixing is the enemy—you want distinct colors with soft blended edges, not a muddy brown situation.
  • The yogurt drizzle is what transforms this from pretty to professional-looking, so don't skip it even if you think it's unnecessary.
03 -
  • Keep your spreading knife warm and slightly damp while swirling—it makes the motion smoother and prevents colors from sticking to your tool.
  • If you make a swirl you don't love, just gently swirl over it again; this isn't paint, it's flexible until you serve it.
