Start with drawings and sketches to visualize the plate.
Find inspiration from a picture or object. Assemble a “practice” plate to work on executing your vision.
2. Keep It Simple
Select one ingredient to focus on and use space to simplify the presentation.
Clutter distracts from the main elements of your dish that might confuse the diners on what to focus on.

Play with colors, shapes and textures to ensure diners are not overwhelmed.
The presentation should never overpower flavor and function
4. Get the Right Portion Size
Ensure that there is the right amount of ingredients and the plate complements the dish, not too big or
too small. Strike the right proportion of protein, carbohydrates and vegetables to create a nutritionally balanced
meal.

This refers to the other elements on the plate such as garnishes, sauces and even the plate itself.
