Presenting food beautifully is an art form that can be taught
People often perceive that presenting food beautifully is something that happens at the end of the cooking process when a dish is plated. In fact, beautiful food presentation begins much earlier in the process, long before we start cooking.
David Rickett is a fine art graduate, MasterChef UK finalist, and non-professional cook, who has developed stunning plating techniques. David will teach you the fundamentals of food presentation and plating, from designing your dish, right up until the final presentation.
David emphasizes that the most effective way to elevate food presentation is good cookery. Therefore he will demonstrate how to prepare purees, sauces and oils correctly, so that they appear vibrant and appetizing on your plate.
David will show you how to squeeze the maximum level of food presentation out of everyday ingredients and will teach you the tricks that can elevate the overall look of your dishes.

The fundamentals of food presentation and plating
What you'll learn
David will explain how to select the right plates and dishes for your creations. He will show you how to ‘paint with purees’ and how to plate sauces and oils creatively, ensuring that each element is first prepared correctly in order to look stunning and appetizing on the plate.
You will learn to shape and finish your food to ensure a high quality presentation, understanding the importance of height and volume, and appreciating how garnishing can bring beauty, texture and color to your plates.

You can apply this knowledge to get creative and find your own style of food presentation that works for you.

The curriculum covered a wide range of plating styles, encouraging creativity and pushing boundaries. The part I love the most, is that plating starts from properly cooked foods, not when the pieces are put together.

At first it seemed as if the course was only going to be helpful if you were a beginner with little to no prior skills, but as the course progressed I really enjoyed the tips and ideas he presented. Definitely a great course for a home cook, and a good run through of the basics for a newer professional cook.
