Abstract: A food preparation and serving plate (10) is provided which assists a disabled user in preparing and consuming food items placed thereon. The plate (10) includes a planar top surface (20) surrounded by a sidewall (50). A bottom surface (30) parallel to and beneath the top surface (20) includes a non-slip pad (40) thereon to secure the plate (10) to an underlying support surface. The sidewall (50) includes an overhang (60) on a portion of the sidewall (50) which includes a lip (62) which assists the user in loading a utensil, such as a spoon (S), with small food items. The top surface (20) includes a fulcrum (70) spaced above the top surface (20). The fulcrum (70) is utilized along with a knife (K.sub.1) to provide leverage in cleaving food items into bite-sized morsels. A tip (T) of the knife (K.sub.1) is placed under the fulcrum (70) and then a handle (H) of the knife (K.sub.1) is forced downward with a blade (B.sub.1) of the knife (K.sub.1) between the handle (H) and the tip (T) driving into the food item.
