    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.

    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 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!

    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.

  • @ememe1412
    @ememe1412 2 роки тому +8

    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.

    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.

  • @Phil_Bosco

  • @thehilaryglow
    @thehilaryglow 2 роки тому +3

    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.

      I'm not sure I agree with that. I think perceived value is important and that we "eat with our eyes first," but at the end of the day, if the food doesn't taste delicious then what's the point? Ya know?
