Presentation

Presentation is everything. No? Okay, I've made beautiful food that lacked its match in flavor, and I'd much rather have it the other way around. But, I've been to a nice restaurant, not a fancy pants place, but a nice one, and the presentation was kinda unsightly. Well-presented food, or at least not very poorly presented food, is part of the expected experience at a nicer restaurant. When striving to create first class food, an effort at first class presentation can easily be sought for too. Just a moment of added effort to give it that extra touch. It needn't be a work of art, simply arrange it in an orderly way, add a garnish just to give it the color it lacks naturally, quickly swirl or drip some sauce on an empty portion of the plate. Just a nice little touch to add to the visual flavor of the food. This dessert here is a small example. It isn't perfect, but it has a nice added touch that makes it a bit more appetizing. Even though it came out of a plastic bag.
