The Artistry of Food.
[reblogged from panacheprivee.com]
The catering industry can be a wonderful place to work. And it isn’t all about cooking food correctly either. The presentation of a meal is also very important and you will learn all about this on a relevant training course.
Knowing how to present a meal correctly can actually be seen as quite an art. There are some beautiful coloured meals and setting them out in a particular way on a plate can make them taste even better! Think about some of the wonderful dark greens of leafy vegetables sprinkled atop the orange-brown of a spicy homemade sauce; or the gorgeous oily shades of yellow and amber that you will find in a good quality biryani. Getting hungry yet?
Training to be a chef involves all manner of different things. You must learn about basic food hygiene methods, how to use knives correctly and what desserts are best suited to a particular main course. If you thought it was all just about cooking then think again. And you will even understand why it is so important to get the washing-up done!

A meal looks so much more appetising if it is presented properly.
I hate to order a meal somewhere and it just looks as if it has been thrown on the plate.

This is a really interesting post and I’m sure that what you say is very true…
But I’ll just stick to eating it!
