A plate holder (10) includes a base member (12) having an upper surface (13), an end surface (15) adjacent the upper surface (13) and a first recess (14) extending inwardly of the end surface (15), the first recess (14) being shaped and oriented relative to the upper surface (13) so that, in use, wh

A plate holder (10) includes a base member (12) having an upper surface (13), an end surface (15) adjacent the upper surface (13) and a first recess (14) extending inwardly of the end surface (15), the first recess (14) being shaped and oriented relative to the upper surface (13) so that, in use, when the upper surface (13) is oriented substantially horizontally and a plate (30) is engaged in the first recess (14), the plate is held relative to the base member (12) and thereby is restrained from disengaging with the first recess (14) by force of gravity.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A plate holder including a base member having an upper, substantially planar surface for cutting food and enabling the transfer of the food to a plate by urging the food in a direction toward the plate to a location beyond an end of the planar surface, the base member including an end wall being formed with a first recess extending inwardly into the end wall, the first recess being formed having dimensions to receive a sufficient portion of the plate to restrain the plate and thus prevent the plate from disengaging with the first recess when the base member is oriented substantially horizontally.
