    This was like being back in art class in middle school! Thanks for reminding us that it's okay to be fearlessly and spontaneously creative. It's a shame how much of that we lose as we grow "older and wiser." You said it all with just one demonstration. I'm back on track now. Thanks!

      You prepare the garnishment first because its not necessary to be warm
      Then u put the essential elements that should be warm or hot

      Absolutely! Our culinary arsenal should include plates in a palette of colors and a variety of SHAPES and sizes. My square, red-glazed plates never cease to draw gasps of delight from my customers and dinner guests. Oval pewter plates, found at thrift shops decades ago, make a beautiful steak house presentation. Haunt those thrift shops. They hold boundless treasures! Bon Appetit, chefs!

    Wonderful, fun and delightful! Fine dining is a feast for all of the senses - from the taste, of course...to the background music or crackle in the fireplace, the tinkle of fine crystal, the feel and balance of the silverware, the flowers at the tables and sideboard, the wonderful fragrances and the beautiful presentation of the food along with garnishing! I enjoy this so very much! Bon Appetit!

    Love it when the separate elements aren't expanded upon until they are brought up and neber brought up again. Like how height should generally be used for landscape plating as opposed to the smear of pea paste which is meant for the trifecta.

    The fish should be integrated into the presentation, not just sat on the side, the rest is basically just one colour and looks a bit of a mess and doesn't excite.

    Super interesting! Cooking is my hobby (lucky husband at home) and I love taste dishes. Now I´m starting to learn how to plate, so it doesn’t only tastes delicious but it looks great. I have a question... in order to plate property, it takes time (specially me, that I’m just learning) doesn’t the food gets cold at the end we plate it? Should I rush or just take it to the microwave after plating it? ...

    I had it during my college days but I forgot. I hope you can help me with that. Thank you so much and enjoyed watching your videos.

      Serena possibly, but it definitely is not purely European. As a New Zealander, i can tell it does give slights hints of an Aussie accent but is not purely Aussie. There are some strong American pronunciations of words and some almost Irish. I’ve often found some Canadian accents to be almost a mix of these, that’s why I think he’s probably got a Canadian accent

    • @culinaryviking4864
      @culinaryviking4864 6 років тому +10

      Dennis Henriksson I disagree, he’s right, rule of thumb is if the customer doesn’t enjoy seeing the food then he will enjoy it less. We eat with our eyes more than we do with our pallet. I would’ve added alittle more red accents which could’ve been achieved with a tomato purée or a few sliced beats which would’ve accompanied the peas and edema me very well. As well as sautéed julienned carrots. Or even sautéed quartered cherry tomato’s. Very simple and colorful, as well as tasty. Especially when accompanied by the protein which looks either like sea bass or halibut. But i do see where you are coming from. To many ingredients can and will often ruin a dish. It just depends on how you execute. Another interesting color enhancement would be using a red roasted pepper purée, mild smoky taste and colorful lol.

      Not really - there's enough fat on that to provide plenty of calories. Sadly, the token calories from actual vegetables is negligible, so the overall nutritional value is pretty poor.

    • @maddestruction1
      @maddestruction1 4 роки тому +1

      KM W The amount of fat in a dish doesn’t dictate whether it will fill you up or not, that’s just ridiculous. For example I could eat 500g of rich ice cream in one sitting and still have room for a 200g salmon fillet but on the other hand a 500g salad full of greens would fill me up.
