For many years, I have cooked with my nose and from my memory. I could have cared less about what my final dish looked like on the plate, but
one wonderful day, I had an epiphany. I began to care, and by caring I was thrown into an entirely different culinary world. Whether you have realized it
or not, you eat with your eyes first, and a beautiful plate will always include that extra sense of satisfaction when placed in front of you.
Plating is an art, and your plate is your blank canvas. There are not any “set in stone” rules, but I’m here to share some guidelines I personally follow when plating my dishes.
