Presentation matters. We don't just eat with our mouths, we also eat with our eyes. Presenting a meal with style enhances the culinary experience.
A few months ago I bought some pretty yellow dishes at West Elm. I didn't realize at the time how much they'd brighten my meals. The attractive color surrounds my food with sunlight. Best of all, the dishes were on sale and remarkably cheap.
Here's my snack for today. Caviar, on sour cream, on Carr's Table Water Crackers. I love the flavor of caviar but its saltiness needs to be cut with something smooth. Sour cream (or cream cheese) serves that purpose. And, for the base, nothing beats Carr's crackers. They're sturdy and make plain taste a virtue. They serve what you place on them without interfering with its flavor.
Do you put any effort into how you present your food?
Badly presented food puts me off in such a way that I can't eat it so, yes, I totally agree that presentation matters. Very much so. Your yellow plates are just perfect! xxx
ReplyDeletePresentation always matters! Cheerful plates always make my day :) and good score on the deal at West Elm—I love that store!
ReplyDeleteI agree, we eat with our eyes. I try to think about balancing color with balancing the meal. I want a meat - starch - veg, but I also consider how chicken and rice on a plate can look very plain, and choose orange carrots or vibrant spinach to jazz things up.
ReplyDeleteThe other day ago I was thinking what if I tried to fancy up our dinners. I try to present our food in a pleasing way, but I've never tried to make our dinner like a top of the line 3-star eatery. However, on Friday I made a quite beautiful citrus salmon inspired by another blogger and I have to say before I took it off the sheet pan it was stunning. :)
ReplyDeleteNow that is a divine and beautifully plated snack my dear!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am visual, and care as much about how my food looks as how it tastes, and once upon a time in suburbia, I set one ——- of a table !
Great dishes, love west elm !
