The Reason Why You Should Serve Your Dishes In A Better Way

Taste is like a king and serving way is like a queen.

The visuals are the first to be seen, and it is the way the food is presented that will attract attention before the taste. This certainly applies to food bloggers/vloggers who focus on serving new foods every day.

The provisions above, of course, do not apply to people who immediately choose food based on their desires in a place, not based on what they see. But, if based on food selection by exploring the menu book, of course, the food photography in the menu book will have a big impact. Although.... in the end, sometimes expectations that are too high for food photography can be disappointing (when the food that arrives doesn't match or doesn't match the visuals in the menu book).

I often experience these things too. Most of my cravings come from the food photography I see. Then a few times, I was disappointed because the expectations were too high that finally killed my interest. But that means food photography will always play an important role in the factors that make someone choose food.

Cleanliness That Supports Delicious Food

One of the important factors in how to present food in a better way is about cleanliness. Even simple food, if served with clean serving utensils, it will make the food more attractive. That way can support the delicacy of the food.

On several cooking shows, I have also seen that the judges of the cooking show are very concerned about how clean the serving plates are. In fact, if there are visible fingerprints left on the plate, it makes the judges angry. It proves that serving hygiene is an important factor to make things work, especially in fine dining restaurants.

So, don't forget to always check the dish before bringing it to the table. Wipe carefully if there is food debris stuck to the food serving container.

As a food blogger, it has become imperative to present the best possible food results. Avoid just posting the results of cooking on cookware. The results of cooking on cooking utensils will look very different when compared to the results of cooking in serving containers such as bowls, plates, trays, and others.

The presentation of the results of the dish with the dish container will also create its own side of beauty. We can involve a lot of additional ingredients to support the appearance of the dish. It was different from the dish that was only displayed through the cooking pot.

Choosing a Serving Container

To produce an artful presentation even with simple food contents, choose a plate, or bowl that makes the contents of the food the main focus of the visuals. Serving plates or bowls have many types of materials, as well as colors.

For a safe step, especially for beginners, choose a ceramic serving container with a white color without a motif.

In addition to white, you can choose black without a motif for brightly colored food that contrasts with black.

Playing With Textures

The next bold step you should take is to play around with textures. It's not hard if you get used to it. Serving in this way is to make the main texture of the food more exposed on the plate/bowl.

The easy way is not to move the food at the same time in the serving container. If the result is a gravy textured dish, try moving the ingredients that are solid in texture first. After that, then slowly add the ingredients of the broth.

These ways will help the food look attractive, even different in terms of uniqueness. I love this presentation texture game. The final result of serving on a plate/bowl later will be different from the results of dishes that are only served through a cooking pot.

---

---

Practice makes you perfect. So you should always practice serving food in a better way. It can't be with once or twice we serve food. It is a process that is not easy but also becomes fun if we live it with passion.

The more you practice, the more sensitive and accustomed you will be to choosing and matching dish containers with cooking ingredients. Never be afraid to try because you will never know the result at all if you have never tried combining food textures.

The Magical Finishing Touch

The final decoration on the dish is a great touchshame. I've always thought of it that way. Therefore, the selection of garnishes is also important.

Avoid using garnishes that have a difficult taste that is suitable to be combined with the taste of the main dish in the dish.

Use ingredients that are familiar to you, so you will have a quick idea of ​​how it will taste if the main ingredients and garnishes blend well.

To complement the overall presentation of the food, choose a texture with different ingredients from the texture of the main food. This is to create other forms of dishes that are unexpected.

For example, here I use thick coconut milk or coconut flakes. It will provide a more contrasting color so that it attracts the eye before the tongue tastes the dishes.

---

---

---

In addition to the more complex textures, you can choose only fresh fruit and vegetables as the final touch of the presentation of the dishes referred to as "magic". For example mint leaves, chopped celery, and slices of fruits. To apply this rule, remember the colors of all the ingredients. Use final garnishes that contrast with the color of the other ingredients in a serving container.

Those were some things about food presentation that you should pay attention to as a food blogger/vlogger. To display feeding results in a better way.
