    As a chef of 16 years, I must say this is one of the best plating videos I have seen! Great job! ❤

    I am so glad I watched this video! I am looking forward to some more classes on plating techniques. Loving the tips and tricks and would appreciate some cooking ones too. My mom didn’t cook so I appreciate the ones that seem obvious if your mom or dad taught them to you but aren’t so obvious if you are trying to figure it out on your own.

    Thank you!! I took a handful of culinary classes and this was much more succinct on explaining plating, definitely found some new things I wanna use! Not a second of this video was wasted either, a tell-tale sign of a video creator who knows what they're doing. 10/10 my guy, you got yourself another subscriber!

    i love using fresh herbs to help my presentation. Mandolin tip, if the item is getting too close to scary-lose-a-finger length, use a fork instead of your fingers to get those super fine slices

    Thank you! I just discovered a love of cooking and started experimenting with presentation. Loved the analogy as the food as paint. I feel that simplicity is also key but extremely difficult to do.

    One exercise that I like to do to practice plating is to plate ONE or TWO items at most. Get something like a raw and a cooked carrot. You’d be amazed at how many directions you can go in. It forces you to be creative.

    It's never been the plating that's the biggest stumbling block. It's the speed, precision and consistency for the pace of service one is doing. Always been the case in professional cooking.

    To expound further on "eating with your eyes":
    A study from 1977 by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that the body will more willingly receive nutrients from food that looks more appealing, hence "eating with your eyes", and this all takes place from the moment you walk into a restaurant. Your brain takes note of other people's dishes, the presentation. Before they even get their plate to the table, the guest should already have the idea in their head that they're going to have a beautiful plate.

    The negative/blank space is actually too big in portion compared to the ingredients on the plate. I would place the food a little bit more in the middle (the edge of the outer third) or just in the center. The contrast between the clean black plate and the colorful green dish do enough justice in appearing appealing to the eye.
