When the dish is served on the table, then first of all, guests evaluate it in appearance. Correct table setting, a combination of colors in the dish and on the table itself also play a big role. Such rules have been formed for many centuries, so today everyone is trying to provide a beautiful presentation. It plays a very significant role, while the taste is only secondary in a sense. No one will try an unaesthetic, strange dish. Well, maybe extreme.
The basic rules of a beautiful presentation
- The plate on the table should contain some food, as overloading looks ugly.
- It is best to place the finished dish in the center of the plate.
- A beautiful presentation suggests unusualness, contrast of colors in comparison with other shades on the table.
- Food should not be placed clearly and evenly, as if on measured lines, it is best to arrange it randomly, carelessly.
- Combination of incongruous - this oxymoron is suitable for the basic rule of supply. Judging by the photo, a beautiful presentation in restaurants suggests an unusual compatibility of products by consistency, color, and size.
- Add a small amount of sauces or put them separately from the dish.
Many restaurants use a special serving system. When food is placed on a plate, they imagine that the first is the clock. Food is already placed in accordance with a specific figure on the clock. For example, according to the principle of the content of substances in food, it can be arranged like this: in one zone, carbohydrate, in the other most fatty, in the next protein and so on.
This option has been known for more than a century, but it is it that is considered the most optimal so far. The method perfectly affects not only the perception of people, but also subsequently on the profit of the restaurant, a good reputation.
Japanese dishes - a different system
It is the Japanese version of the beautiful presentation of dishes that is very common around the world. The basic rule is minimalism, which manifests itself in many areas of Japanese activity. The whole food cannot be on the plate at once, as a rule, it is placed in several so that the consumer does not think that a huge amount of edible is served to him.
Such a system at times simplifies restaurant activities, since there is no need to puzzle over the correct presentation of the dish. It is enough to neatly lay out everything on several beautiful plates.
Such a beautiful serving of dishes is explained by the fact that the Japanese eat a lot, but in portions, sharing food in many ways. Therefore, this is a great way to develop such a habit, because it is a separate diet - a step on the path to healthy food intake.
What makes a dish beautiful?
To make the dish look impressive and develop appetite, it is necessary not only to arrange food on a plate correctly, but also to decorate it accordingly. Very often, flowers are used as classics, which decorate food.
Today, interest in the use of edible decorations has also increased, which emphasize the originality and sophistication of food, as well as give it an unusual and specific taste. That is, such decorations act as a side dish. It is on him that an experienced chef makes a bias. Say, they can serve fish not only with the usual lemon, but also with a variety of sauces or syrups that will be served with it. Thus, it decorates the food and complements its taste.
Children's menu: design rules
Children are an important part of the audience of each restaurant. Any family can choose a particular institution as a "pet" only because it serves excellent dishes for children.
It is at a young age that a person reacts more to paints, colors, so for such visitors, taste almost does not play a role. Love with eyes - in this case, a fair turn of speech in the direction of almost every child.
For this reason, you can beautifully and unusually design the same vegetables that a child will eat with such an appetite that his parents will be amazed. Beautiful serving of salads is also important, because such dishes are just a storehouse of vitamins.
You can come up with the chef himself an interesting dish that will be decorated in the form of a popular character in cartoons, fairy tales or games. The child will not be able to pass by such a meal, therefore, require parents to order it.
Dishes for serving dishes
Many chefs who have gained credibility often disseminate advice that a large white plate for a beautiful presentation is almost the main attribute. In fact, wooden utensils, as well as stone ones, are widely used. Such a detail perfectly affects the subconscious of the visitor, as it creates a feeling of comfort at home.
In addition, this type of plates is safer to use, since when dropped, they do not break into fragments, which, as a result, can injure the visitor. Also, in environmental terms, this option is more optimal. Part of the restaurant audience will no doubt appreciate this innovation.
Cooking in front of visitors
Almost every visitor has such a need. Similarly, he is convinced that the food does not contain obscure ingredients, it is made from fresh, top-quality products. Events of this kind are very interesting, especially if the staff arranges some enchanting show with fire or just interesting maneuvers.
