1. Choosing the right plates, knives, cups and linen tablecloths from the base can make the dishes on the dining table more beautiful. Of course, the dishes themselves should also make people have a full meal. Generally speaking, chefs like to use plain colors to set off food, especially white. Besides colors, there are various shapes and styles to choose from. If you don't have interesting dishes, there are certainly many affordable choices, including practical, ornamental and conservative traditional dishes. To find interesting tableware, you can go to Asian grocery stores, handicraft markets or flea markets, antique shops and Middle Eastern pottery shops. You can find interesting antiques in these places.
Of course, we should also consider whether the size of the plate is suitable for food. A large plate of small amounts of food is suitable for literary diners, but some guests may forget it at once and even feel cheated.
2. Consider using sauces or sauces with plates (curry, stew or casserole) as decorative designs. The soup on the plate looks ugly unless it is eaten with rice, pasta or potatoes, or put in a suitable bowl or deep plate.
3. Think about the shape of cooked vegetables and how you want them to be served, which will make simple dishes special. If the vegetables are cut well, it can play a icing on the cake. Of course, you can also add some skills to the chef. At children's parties, it will be very popular to make food into a semicircle with an ice cream spoon. You can also put vegetables, desserts, cupcakes and other foods in unique containers and fire-resistant containers. If you have a food processor for cutting food, such as a slicer or a chopper, you can save a lot of energy, especially when cutting vegetables.
4. Remember that the style of dishes will change in a few years or even months, so read more cooking magazines, cooking websites and cooking programs to get the latest cooking information and keep pace with the times. To a certain extent, the more complicated the decoration, the more attractive the side dishes are. Tower-shaped and folded foods are very popular, but they must be carefully prepared and eaten. This style won't last long, and it will soon return to its original state. Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to the setting of food, because diners in high-end atmosphere will regard the simple setting of food as a sign of poor cooking skills, so everyone has higher expectations for the setting of food. I hope this dish has a strong artistic flavor and gives people aesthetic enjoyment. Of course, the food itself is good. Nowadays, many people aim to cook Michelin-starred food at home. In addition to the benefits of doing so, the expectations of diners will be greatly improved, so it is difficult for diners to be interested in the food cooked at home. Only going to a restaurant can change their taste.
Under the changing trend of food requirements, it has become more and more popular to use different containers or raw materials to hold dishes or cook, and setting plates has also become a weather vane for coffee shops or restaurants to keep up with the trend.
5. We should consider how to make the staple food and side dishes complement each other. The staple food is served with a piece of pie, meat, fruit pie or other things. We should consider where to put it on the plate to look best and achieve the best effect-the cutting method of food will affect the appearance and symmetry. Whether it is cut thick or thin or placed as a whole, it is different. Try it on yourself and ask others how to dress best. You will get the result soon, and you can learn from the idea of your favorite restaurant. There's nothing wrong with that.
6. Choose the right food in the right place-the environment determines everything. Don't give children the weight of adults, and vice versa. Otherwise, it will be in trouble.
7. Imagine what you want to offer according to the characteristics of the diners. Some restaurants are famous for offering only a little meat and sauce, so that customers can buy extra vegetables and other side dishes, which is very good in a certain style, especially in formal barbecues, which usually only provide a plate of meat slices and then let diners choose other side dishes, but this trend is no longer popular among customers who are rich and interesting, or look forward to bringing home rich food. So psychology has a great influence on this. Therefore, many bars, modern cafes and restaurants have whimsical sources of inspiration. In this era of widely used technology, vacuum cooking of steak has become a very common method, and the extraction, distillation and freezing filtration of soup and sauce can be completed at a very low cost. Many diners don't realize that the more varied foods they eat are just ordinary foods modified by chefs.
8. Study simple side dishes. The staple food aims at self-improvement, and the side dishes are the foil. You can use a small amount of extra salad, a small amount of herbs, nuts or tasteless powder. In particular, it is very popular to make them complementary, or to hide the staple food in the side dishes, which is a simple and elegant type. Confused diners will not give you good comments. You can buy a machine that is easy to cook simple side dishes, or ask older children to help you cook side dishes as part of your pocket money, but the excitement will gradually disappear.
9. Choose side dishes wisely. In many cultures, flowers are an acceptable side dish, or a decorative leaf can be placed at the bottom of food. In western culture, it is best not to use inedible things as side dishes. Of course, because side dishes will affect the taste of dishes, you should choose carefully. This is a highly respected art form, which does occupy a place in buffet or Swedish buffet, but it is actually not common in a wider range. If you like the idea of putting edible flowers, please consider more details.
10, considering color and taste. White sauce is often paired with white meat, but chicken slices, cauliflower and potatoes with white sauce will make the color very monotonous, look dull and make people lose their appetite. Try adding some different colors and flavors to make them match each other. This is easy to do, and only a little extra things are needed to increase people's appetite.
1 1, last but definitely the most important. You should play with ice cubes, butter and vegetarian dishes too much within your technical scope and time range. Sometimes unrealistic and boring, completely unnecessary. Cooking should be as enjoyable as eating.
Tip: Try to make all the dishes decent and concise. Formal good dishes are very suitable for celebration, but in fact, simple dishes can be upgraded by adding some decorative side dishes.
Read more recent cookbooks and magazines to stimulate creativity. Your local library is a good resource library, and many cooking magazines can be downloaded, so that you can read recipes with ipad, e-book reader or other readers while doing it. You can use electronic equipment to add icing on the cake to the dining table.
There are many plates to keep warm (patented). For delicious hot dishes, it is definitely the best choice (especially those that are expensive and take time to prepare).
