Tips for decorating dishes
Spectacular serving of a dish is an art. Distribute food on a plate in height, not in width. For example, a beautiful slide or a turret;
Combine contrasting colors, sizes and textures: crispy with soft, red with green, etc.;
Observe the measure: the plate should not look empty, but you do not need to fill it completely. Small portions look more appetizing and encourage you to enjoy the process;
Adhere to minimalism in the decoration of the dish: elegant touches should only emphasize its beauty, and not become an independent meal;
Observe the harmony of food with the background: for hot dishes, it should be warm, for cold dishes — cold.
