10 rules of food styling — beautiful serving of dishes

We used to think that serving dishes is a high academic science in which rules and traditions mean a lot. To violate them in the process of absorbing perfectly decomposed food means to commit a crime against taste, to go against the principles of haute cuisine.

But imagine for a second that you can forget about the rules and serve food in such a way that its appearance will not cause confusion from ideality, but an incredible and irresistible desire to eat it. We decided to collect rules for the beautiful presentation of dishes that will help make them as beautiful as food can be attractive at all.

1. Reduce portions

2. Create contrast

3. More clutter

4. More simplicity

5. Show the best sides

6. Show the process

7. Put the appliances on a plate

8. Use napkins
