Food Presentation Techniques & Colour Theory

Ғылым және технология

Food presentation principles and techniques from vegetable crisp garnishes to colour theory and service wear. I wanted to show and talk about some of the techniques I find useful when thinking about how I want to present my food. Not hacks and tricks but really useful principles to have in mind so you can make beautiful creative dishes that still always keep flavour as the key focus.

    I think we are spiritually connected. I just did a small seminar on colour theory and gestalt in food. If clothes make the man, plates make the food.

    May I ask what kind of seminar it was and if you have any references for gestalt in food? I'd love to study that

    @@chefdavidefanton Gestalt is a broad term for the relationship of "Things, objects, people, animals etc" within a space. It can refer to how each of these things has their own relationship with the space, even though they share the space. In relationship terms, if I have 15 people in a room and 13 of them are green and 2 of them are red, we will perceive this as two groups. One large group of green and one small group of red, even though we don't know if there is a connection between any of them. As stated gestalt is a broad term. Darker objects tend to carry more visual weight, brighter objects are seen as lighter etc. There is plenty of material out there, its just a case of finding stuff that isn't too word heavy to get a sense of how it works.

    I love your work ❤😊 btw, try gold on blue, I find yellow to complement it better...or a combination of the yellow and orange, maybe some red accents 😅

    Hey Eddie, fantastic video as always. One thing I thought up while watching was the use of "moving" elements when presenting a dish, as opposed to interesting static elements. Things like a liquid nitrogen fog, or a light wavering smoke, or drizzling on a sauce that dissolves an element of the dish, enhancing the effect. Have you experimented with any presentations of that sort in your menus?

    Oh that’s a great point yes. Yeah I agree that’s definitely a great way to keep things feeling dynamic, and especially with a sauce sometimes things look best before it’s poured so it can really nice to have that presentation & then the theatre of pouring the sauce at the table. Actually I used to have these little mini ‘campfires’ I made win small cast iron pans so guests could toast marshmallows over them, I can’t believe I didn’t think to put that in the video. Maybe it can be its own video in the future
