Lately ,I am getting inspired from master chef series on Television. I do not have TV at home but I do get to see the episodes on the internet. The MasterChef is cooking reality show aired in TV channels. The show features amateur, home cooks, or in some cases, professionals or celebrities cooking and trying different dishes for judges. I started liking the show for some of the amazing recipes and moreover the way the participants present their dishes to the judges. Getting inspired I started trying some dressing on my cooking and then enjoying my meals at home.
I always find some of the user on #hive as a pro in making the dishes very appealing. They uses simple way to present their food dishes very appealing. Many restaurants and food chain always focus on making their dish looks good on plate. Dishes are presented beautifully to stimulate appetite, enhance perceived taste, and signal high quality, as humans "eat with their eyes" first. A well-plated dish can actually make food taste better by priming the brain for a better experience, often perceived as more fresh, nutritious, and high-quality. Today, I cooked Rice, potatoes fry , and Tomatoes curry. In addition, I made a tangy chutney with Sattu (roasted peas powder). Getting a chance to showcase skills of presentation, I tried to make it appealing.
I never been to an expensive hotels or restaurants. But seeing some episode on the internet I learnt the art of presenting the food. Though the food is meant to be for me, I made sure it look appealing. It was a small plate I have with me currently. I took a small bowl full of rice pour it in middle of the plate. Took few spoon of Tomatoes curry at one side while on the other side is filled with potatoes fry and the Sattu chutney. I garnished it with little coriander on top and some peanuts.
Studies have shown that artistic plating can make food appear more flavorful, higher quality, and even healthier. It bridges the gap between culinary skill and artistic expression, turning a meal into a memorable experience. Although such food item is part of our daily meals, today I enjoyed it more merely because of the extraordinary effort I put into it. How you like the artistic touch on my meals?
In good faith - Peace!!
