I wonder if I am one of those quirky people who notice how beautiful food looks on a plate. When my friends have observed how I take snapshots before their first bite, they simply tolerate me doing so. Who knows, it may raise their level of anticipation; I certainly hope so. Food Plating is actually a culinary art. That doesn’t mean you have to be a gourmet chef to do it successfully. It frankly means arranging food by color, texture, and shape to elevate each dining experience. The only tools needed are a neutral backdrop and kitchenware. It’s important to keep it uncluttered to balance the star attraction. The idea is to focus on the food, after all. By arranging it artfully, you could end up creating an experience that may very well be quite memorable. Some of my posts continue to be favored by Ina Garten’s The Barefoot Contessa, on Instagram (@gail _dorna). You can even find me on Pinterest @Gail Dorna. It’s very easy to search for recipes there on the board entitled “Gail’s Kitchen Recipes”. I’d love to connect with you there as well. Experience different flavors and textures as you eat with your eyes. Catch a glimpse of “Eating My Way Through the Alphabet: Food Plating”. This remarkable journey of the palate is unique because it gives me a few moments with you. Thanks very much to all of my guests and followers on http://snapshotsincursive.com for the uplifting support, award nominations, and daily words of encouragement.
