Why is food presentation important?
Plating techniques can create a multi-sensory experience for diners.
Food is not just sustenance, but a rich experience.
An experience like that sticks with a customer for much longer than a meal that involves mediocre presentation, and creating that kind of memory is exactly what chefs are looking for.
Well-executed food presentation can create a sense of professionalism in the mind of eaters and offers an exciting element of a meal that many can’t recreate with the same skill in their own cooking efforts.
