1
Use both fresh and ready-to-eat vegetables to decorate dishes. So that some vegetables do not lose their attractiveness, they are not specially processed. For example, turnip is ideal for creating white compositions, and beets for red ones. Salad leaves, mint, greens, leeks, cucumbers or sweet peppers are successfully used to form "leaves and stems" of a culinary bouquet. From lemons, oranges, watermelons, melons, avocados, you can make voluminous baskets, boats and boats.

Try to make the dish and its decoration complement each other. For example, potatoes in the form of fungi or flowers perfectly complement the meat product. A lemon rose is able to decorate seafood dishes. In addition, color is the main tool in creating and emphasizing the taste of food. When using dyes, give preference to natural products: saffron, paprika, hazel, beetroot juice, mayonnaise, tomato paste, etc.

To achieve the greatest effect, discard a large number of jewelry. Some dishes look much more effective in their natural form, so do not overload them with excessive decoration.

Carefully consider the location of all the decor elements in advance. Choose a dish so that it does not distract attention from the dish itself. Here, the color and shape of the plates plays an important role. If you doubt the correctness of your choice, give preference to white. Wipe the edges of the plate thoroughly before serving.

Lightly grease dishes of meat, fish and poultry with vegetable oil. Thanks to this, the fried crust will acquire a special mouth-watering shine. For hot dishes, prepare the decorations in advance so that they can be quickly put on the dish before it has cooled.
