Previously, it was possible to put a puree with a kitlet on the plate - and everyone is happy. Now, when we are accustomed to dinner in restaurants, and shipping dishes to wait with mini-containers for the decor, just feed the food to the table will not work. In this material we will tell you about the basic rules of dishes decorating so that they look like a restaurant serving.
So, there is a few simple rules for serving a dish:
1. Avoid overloading plates. Your dish will not be attractive if the meat and vegetable garnish will drown in the ocean of the sauce. Do not be afraid to leave empty places on plates - it will help to assemble the composition. Remember that less is better, so if you overload a plate too much portion, you will make food less attractive to appearance.

2. Alternative forms and volumes. Try mixing clear and soft, large and small, dark and bright elements. See how the desserts are decorated with private bakeries - they are combined with mousse texture and "moss" from the biscuit, drops of sauce and chocolate slices. Serve additional sauce on the side of the dish or in a small stylish jar. Cut vegetables and fruits using various amazing combinations to prepare a magnificent side dish.
3. Think about the game by contrasts and flowers. Change the appearance of the plate due to the color of the cooked dishes or add bright decorative elements. Tomatoes Cherry or dried tomatoes are a good item to add a little red. Try the twig of fresh grass, for example, mint for an emphasis with a green color. Machinery "Blanching" will be useful for the main dishes, as it allows to preserve the bright color of vegetables: leaning them, and then placing in ice water.
4. Observe the distance in half or more between the product and the edge. Place the main element in the center of the plate - for example, put a steak roarned on the grill. At the distance from it, lay out the side dish, and after Pouring the sauce.
5. Use disposable forms. Salad "Olivier" or "Mimosa" will look more attractive if placed in the shape of the foil layers, and then remove it before serving. Do not forget to give salads to breed at least a couple of hours.
6. Forget about mother's councils. Decorate the dish dill, make mice from eggs or lay out the chips over the salad - has long been converted. Draw inspiration from the presentation in restaurants or video of Food bloggers who follow the trends of the industry, and not follow tradition.

7. Buy beautiful dishes. There are enough of the grandmother's plates and regret money for a set of high-quality dishes. Now in fashion, flat plates with high edges, on the texture resembling a rough stone type of granite. Also, many restaurants serve food in the classic white dishes - this option is also possible.
