1 Choose the right plate

The first step to create a visually appealing dish is to select the right plate for your food. You want to match the shape, size, color, and texture of the plate to the food you are serving. For example, if you are serving a round, moist, and colorful dish, you might want to use a white, square, and dry plate to contrast and highlight the food. You also want to avoid overcrowding the plate or leaving too much empty space. A general rule of thumb is to use the clock method, where you place the main item at 6 o'clock, the starch at 2 o'clock, and the vegetable at 10 o'clock.

Make sure your photographer gets a photo of the whole plate in case you need to remove the background. Also get a close up :)

When it comes to Food Deliveries.. Our customers always look for the same food they ordered in a restaurant. But the Era has come to a high technology and efficient way to serve food by Online ordering. Fast Food restaurants dominate the Food Deliveries, due Fast, Cheap and Simple. However with the Help of Social Media and Food Vloggers. The Low type of Restaurant can be a top notch because of the good reviews. The Best restaurants cannot be sustain ed in the Food Industry without a good marketing.. Marketing and selling brands is more important to attribute the point of selling and deliveries.

I am considering plating for visual appeal when I host a private dinner party and 1/2 the guests want a seafood protein and 1/2 are vegetarian. I wish to have each guest feel fancy when being served. Salmon vs Risotto? I study books, IG posts, YouTube videos and based on my own 20 years of cooking for parties decide what will present best for each plate. Salmon crispy skin side up over the sauce, vs Roasted Umami 'meaty' Oyster Mushrooms atop dairy free Risotto using a ring mold and zest, fresh herb and glossy oil to finish... Opposing plate colors so Seafood is differentiated from Risotto and the guests can appreciate each others plates knowing they are eating what they prefer. Taste is key and we aim to bring Your Goumet Chef your way!

2 Use color and contrast

Color and contrast are important elements of food presentation, as they can create visual interest, harmony, and balance. You want to use a variety of colors and shades to make your food look fresh, vibrant, and appetizing. You can use natural ingredients, such as herbs, spices, fruits, and vegetables, to add color and contrast to your dishes. For example, you can use parsley, mint, basil, or cilantro to add a touch of green; lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit to add a splash of yellow or orange; or cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, or raspberry to add a pop of red or pink.

Using colors and contrast effectively can elevate food presentation to a whole new level. Vibrant hues like reds, greens, and yellows can add visual appeal and stimulate appetite. Contrasting colors, such as pairing bright vegetables with dark sauces or light plates with richly colored meats, create visual interest and make dishes stand out. Strategically using colors and contrast can entice diners before they even take the first bite, making the dining experience more enjoyable.

3 Apply the rule of thirds

The rule of thirds is a basic principle of composition that can help you create a balanced and pleasing food presentation. The rule of thirds divides the plate into nine equal parts by drawing two horizontal and two vertical lines. You want to place the most important or focal point of your dish at one of the four intersections of these lines, rather than at the center. This can create a sense of movement, tension, and interest in your dish. For example, if you are serving a steak with mashed potatoes and asparagus, you might want to place the steak at the lower right intersection, the mashed potatoes at the upper left intersection, and the asparagus at the lower left intersection.

When applying the rule of thirds to food presentation, imagine the plate divided into a grid of nine equal parts, with two horizontal and two vertical lines. Place the main food item or focal point at the intersections of these lines to create balance and visual interest. Use complementary elements such as garnishes, sauces, or side dishes to fill the remaining areas, ensuring each section contributes to the overall composition. This technique helps guide the viewer's eye and enhances the aesthetic appeal of the dish.

4 Add height and texture

Height and texture are another way to enhance your food presentation, as they can create dimension, depth, and variety. You want to use different shapes, sizes, and layers to make your food look more appealing and inviting. You can use tools, such as molds, rings, skewers, or spoons, to shape and stack your food. You can also use ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, crumbs, or sauces, to add texture and flavor to your dishes. For example, you can use a ring mold to create a tower of rice or quinoa; you can use a skewer to thread pieces of meat, cheese, or fruit; or you can use a spoon to drizzle some sauce or dressing over your dish.

5 Consider the temperature and timing

Temperature and timing are crucial factors of food delivery, as they can affect the quality, taste, and safety of your food. You want to ensure that your food is cooked and served at the appropriate temperature, depending on the type and doneness of the food. You also want to avoid delays or interruptions that can cause your food to lose its heat, moisture, or flavor. You can use equipment, such as warmers, coolers, or insulated containers, to maintain the temperature of your food. You can also use strategies, such as preparing in advance, batching, or sequencing, to optimize the timing of your food delivery.

6 Practice and experiment

The final tip to improve your food presentation and delivery skills is to practice and experiment. You want to try different techniques, methods, and combinations to find what works best for you and your customers. You can also seek feedback, inspiration, and advice from your peers, mentors, or online sources. Remember that food presentation and delivery are not only about aesthetics, but also about functionality, practicality, and customer satisfaction. By practicing and experimenting, you can develop your own style, creativity, and confidence in your culinary education.
