Description

Delicious food lives through presentation as much as taste, and a unique presentation can turn a great dish into an artwork. Plating is an exciting new trend in food presentation which turns a plate of food into a feast for the senses. Playing with contrasting textures, color hues and aromas, plating is a skilful culinary art that spans global cuisine. Plating introduces world renowned chefs and food stylists who guide you through the process of plating, step-by-step, from main dishes and appetizers to desserts and cocktails. Plating opens up this new gastronomic art form for the amateur chef at home, and allows you to imaginatively and skilfully plate your own culinary creations.
