A properly served and decorated dish will make it attractive and cheer up a person. The ability to make a dish beautiful is one of the ingredients of cooking. In order for the created masterpieces to impress guests, it is necessary to follow certain rules.
Instructions
Step 1
Use both fresh and ready-to-eat vegetables to garnish your meals. So that some vegetables do not lose their attractiveness, they are not specially processed. For example, turnips are ideal for white compositions, and beets are ideal for reds. Lettuce, mint, greens, leeks, cucumbers or bell peppers are successfully used to form the "leaves and stems" of the culinary bouquet. From lemons, oranges, watermelons, melons, avocados, you can make voluminous baskets, boats and boats.
Step 2
Try to make sure that the dish and its decoration complement each other. For example, potatoes in the form of fungi or flowers will perfectly complement a meat product. A lemon rose can decorate seafood dishes. In addition, color is the main vehicle for creating and enhancing the flavor of food. When using dyes, give preference to natural products: saffron, paprika, curry, beet juice, mayonnaise, tomato paste, etc.
Step 3
For the greatest effect, discard a lot of jewelry. Some dishes look much more effective in their natural form, so do not overload them with unnecessary finishing.
Step 4
Think carefully about the location of all decor elements in advance. Choose dishes that do not distract attention from the dish itself. The color and shape of the plates plays an important role here. If you are in doubt about the correctness of your choice, give preference to white. Wipe the edges of the plate thoroughly before serving.
Step 5
Lightly grease meat, fish and poultry dishes with vegetable oil. Thanks to this, the toasted crust will acquire a special appetizing shine. For hot meals, prepare the garnishes ahead of time so that they can be quickly placed on the platter while it is still hot.
