Learning Insights
 
 
The most important I have learned in this lesson:

The food presentation is also important in serving food and it can attract the
attention and I believe that you can taste a food without touches of it on your tongue
because we visually taste our food by looking the food we begin deciding how the meal
will taste based on how the food looks. With a little extra time spent plating, you can
utilize the texture, color, and taste of the food to create a masterpiece on the plate.
 

How will I use what I've learned in the future?

 

I can use the basic food presentation techniques it is not applicable in home. In
our home we simply put the food an viola it ready to serve we did not take effort to make
a pleasing presentation but by learning this topic I can make our food more attractive I
the future.

Does the lesson leave you with any questions?
