A collection of thoughts

The process of this blog looked at how through out our lives the different interpretations of how food is presented and why.  It's been an interesting journey where I have discovered that there is a range of ways to ensure the vision of food is definitely as important as how it tastes!  It's one of the first senses you experience with food and subsequently the judging of if and when you indulge is definitely depending on this source.  Having had a look around the different types of food presentation, it is evident that there is a resemblance amongst how and why the notion of it is chosen.  The main conclusion that I have found on the art of culinary presentation, is that patience, skill and a few tips and techniques are all me and you need in order to create pieces that look that extra bit wow!  This is something that the wives of the Victorian times were able to do, with umpteen time in order to ensure they can present their food for impressing is exactly what they did.  Even now, the more time you spend on making sure you food is presented with all the additions and trimmings truly does conclude and depict the level of how appetising it is.  I believe that food presentation is fully appreciated to what extent it is done to and this is dependent on the chef ofcourse! Thank you for reading my blog it was a fun and exciting experience!
