Seven Simple Ways to Present Food

1. Set the table properly. Your day to-day meals might be free-for all,
but if you‘ve got guests coming over, it‘s nice to have the knives and
forks in the right places.

2. Choose your plates wisely. Make sure your serving plates are
big enough to let each food item stand out, but small enough that
the portions don‘t look tiny.

3. Read the clock! A fool proof way to arrange food on a plate is to

place the carbohydrate (rice, pasta, bread, etc.) at ―11 o‘clock,‖ the
vegetables at ―2 o‘clock,‖ and the protein at ―6 o‘clock‖ from the diner‘s
point of view. Foods must be serve with a proper timing.

4. Highlight centerpieces, it‘s good to have a little bit of height, but

don‘t overdo it. The main focus of the plate should be the main dish
and try to balance it with the side dishes and other garnishing.

5. Be odd. Don‘t be strange, but things generally look more interesting

when they‘re in sets of odd numbers, rather than even numbers.

6. Play with color and texture. Even if you‘re just serving Tomato
Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, a green paper napkin can make
this simple meal look really special!

7. Play with Height. This Chicken Stir-fry with Broccoli looks more
interesting because of the high mound of rice sitting next to it.

8. Garnish appropriately. Any garnish on the plate should be edible

and should enhance the flavor of the main dishes. Grilled salmon
might be served with a lemon wedge, for example. Garnishes, like the
cut-up fruit with the fried egg below, are also a great way to add color
or texture.
