    Thank you!! I took a handful of culinary classes and this was much more succinct on explaining plating, definitely found some new things I wanna use! Not a second of this video was wasted either, a tell-tale sign of a video creator who knows what they're doing. 10/10 my guy, you got yourself another subscriber!

    I am so glad I watched this video! I am looking forward to some more classes on plating techniques. Loving the tips and tricks and would appreciate some cooking ones too. My mom didn’t cook so I appreciate the ones that seem obvious if your mom or dad taught them to you but aren’t so obvious if you are trying to figure it out on your own.

    i love using fresh herbs to help my presentation. Mandolin tip, if the item is getting too close to scary-lose-a-finger length, use a fork instead of your fingers to get those super fine slices

    One exercise that I like to do to practice plating is to plate ONE or TWO items at most. Get something like a raw and a cooked carrot. You’d be amazed at how many directions you can go in. It forces you to be creative.

    The negative/blank space is actually too big in portion compared to the ingredients on the plate. I would place the food a little bit more in the middle (the edge of the outer third) or just in the center. The contrast between the clean black plate and the colorful green dish do enough justice in appearing appealing to the eye.
