Don’t our taste buds follow our visual senses in eating causing our appetite to get enhanced? Certain tips for beautifully decorating your dish for enhancing the taste buds are as.
Visualisation -are you aware of chefs’ habit of visualising the dish? They do this by sketching the dish and they use Food Photographers In India either cut outs of the paper or paper pencil for doing this. Your blank canvas is your plate. You should start the styling by keeping in mind the final output required by you. You can sketch a bit to be able to produce the expected results.
Planning -You should plan about the kind of flavours, and the amount of quantities required by you in advance. The number of Rasgullas and Jalebis required by you, the kind of liquid required by you should all be planned in advance.
Composition -You should start styling the plate from the centre. Though this isn’t a hard core rule yet it eases the styling. You should try using the cuts for cutting squares and circles. You can put a layer of fruits on Rabri and put Malpuas one on one.
Balancing -The texture along with the colours should be balanced. Usage of the colours should be restricted to two or three. You need to be careful with the placement of the colours on the plate. You can use cakes, Mithais, jellies and herbs for adding the colour.
Let’s take an example-you can use Jalabies for giving the appearance of Orange colour. You may add Rabri and Mithai to the plate for further making it presentable. It is also required to add the Food Stylist In India ingredients in the right amount so that the flavours remain complemented with each other. For a lasting taste it is imperative to see what blends the best.
Adding Oomph -The ingredient considered to be the star should be added. These are the edible flowers, the edible dust, the edible flakes, etc.
Arranging in odd numbers -You should arrange the dish in odd numbers. Even numbers don’t give the look that is required. So, if you are putting spring rolls, put 3 or 5 and not 2 or 4.
Using White background -The background of White China looks magnificent as everything put on it adds to the beauty and makes the dish stand out.
Playing with all the senses – All the senses-smell, touch, texture, eyes, etc. should get pleased and for doing so, all the above would be required.
