Presentation Is An Art: Here’s How You Can Learn Monochromatic Food Presentation Using THESE techniques!

Employ the following techniques to give your dull plate an appealing look

Presentation in food is the key to pull all the five senses together to savour the different flavours of food. It may sound quite unnatural, but we tend to visually taste our food long before it is gone into our mouths.

Presentation adds a zing to the experience of enjoying food. The reason why chefs are constantly striving on their plating and presentation techniques. Adding to this further, is a new food trend which has crept  in to create its own space. Recognised as  the monochromatic food trend, it particularly involves adorning food items of similar colour on the plate. Even before gulping the food down, the plates ensure to make the food look appealing to the eyes.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas with this red snack board (inspired by @thedelicious) and watching "Rise of the Guardians" ??❄️ . Homemade Pink Peppercorn Cashew Cheese, Star-shaped Seeded Crackers dyed with beet juice, and Harissa (made with fresh peppers) recipes can be found in my cookbook "The Plantiful Plate". The radishes and harissa are super yum, and I love the sweet and tart pop of the sugared cranberries — thanks @vanillaandbean for showing how to make them! ?✨ . It was so fun putting this board together (and eating it!), I feel like a next-level series of #monochromaticfoodphotography inspo coming up for 2020.

This trend playfully tricks you into eating many things while you think you are relishing just one.
While the term monochromatic might sound difficult and the pictures make the dishes seem even more perplexing, but it is not the case. All you need to do is take a base colour like white and then pair it with other tones and shades of white itself.
