Plate Presentation

Presentation is very important part of the dining experience because we eat with our ‘eyes’ first. Sometimes, presentation is more important than how the food actually tastes. If plate presentation is sloppy and is not appealing or pleasing to your eyes, then you are more critical about how the food actually tastes. Without good plate presentation, it is difficult to enjoy food. Here are some tips for good plate presentation:

• Choose a big, shallow, white plate.
• Use appropriate portion of each item while serving food.
• Everything on the plate should be edible
• All food items must be properly cooked and presented at right temperature
• Start arranging food in the center of the plate and build outward
• Arrange food in artistic manner, avoiding symmetry
• Place most attractive item in the front part of the plate
• Add height to the place but do not just stack items over one another
• Add colorful garnishes to increase eye appeal
• Make sure that all the items in the plate are seasoned well
