Why Food Presentation is Important
The visual presentation of food is part of what makes fine dining exceptional. From the presentation of the appetizer to capping the meal off with a dessert drink, diners revel in the delicate display of their foods at JB Hook's. Your dish may come drizzled with sauces, sprinkled with seeds, decorated with edible toppings or accompanied with garnishment. These techniques enhance the diners experience and often compliment the plated food item.
What is Plating?
The arrangement and overall styling of food upon bringing it to the plate is called plating. Common styles of plating include:- Classic: An arrangement of the main item in the front of the plate with vegetables or starches in the back.
- Stacked: An arrangement of the various items, or the main item leaning or layered upon a side item or bed of vegetables.
A History of Food Presentation
The art of modifying, processing, arranging and decorating food to enhance its visual appeal has been practiced for years. Historically, the presentation of food has been used to display wealth and the complexity of a dish emphasized power. Sources tell us that Ancient Romans placed great importance on the appearance of their dining experience from lavish decor to exciting performances and of course, through the elaborate presentation of the food itself. Impressing guests with food presentation has a rich history and today view contemporary food presentation as an expression of modern aesthetic and creativity.
