What is the definition of good food in your opinion? For us, good food is surely has to be balanced in term of flavors, and supported by attractive and appetizing presentation. That’s why, not only the food has to taste good, plating plays a very important role too in presenting “good” food. Food Plating is considered art, where we have to arrange every components of the dish on the plate with the right composition, usually done by professional chefs to give the appetizing look to their creations. And if you think that such job only belongs to professionals, what if I tell you that everyone including YOU can also do plating like a pro if you have the right equipment such as these beautiful Zen tableware!
I had never really cared about plating the food until I myself got involved in the cooking process and felt the need to present my creations more beautifully in order to serve it the best way possible. I was surprised that by only choosing the right plate or container for the food, the actual presentation can change a lot and becomes so much more appetizing. That’s when I started collecting various tableware for my family and it turns out that I didn’t need to be a skilled/trained chef to make my own cooking looks like it comes from a recipe book!
Now here is the highlight of this post: Whether you are a foodie or food enthusiast, a trained chef or food stylist, housewife or a mother, chef-wannabe or just people who love plating in general, let’s join the Zen Food Plating Competition sponsored by Zen Tableware & ACMI (Aku Cinta Masakan Indonesia) and get the chance to win so many prizes provided!
