3. Part of serving food is PRESENTATION .

4. Seven Simple Ways to Present Food like a Chef

5. 1. Set the table properly. Your day-to-day meals might be free-for-all, but if you’ve got guests coming over, it’s nice to have the knives and forks in the right places.

6. 2. Choose your plates wisely. Make sure your serving plates are big enough to let each food item stand out, but small enough that the portions don’t look tiny.

7. 3. Read the clock! A fool proof way to arrange food on a plate is to place the carbohydrate (rice, pasta, bread, etc.) at “11 o’clock,” the vegetables at “2 o’clock,” and the protein at “6 o’clock” from the diner’s point of view.

8. 4. If you have a mound of mashed potatoes (mid-height), you may want to lean your pork chop against it so that it is standing up (high), with a row of snow peas (low) in front. Or top some rice (low) with sliced grilled chicken (cut into a few diagonal slices, and fan them out) (mid-height) and cross asparagus over top of it (high).

9. 5. Be odd. Don’t be strange, but things generally look more interesting when they’re in sets of odd numbers, rather than even numbers.

10. 6. Play with color and texture.

11. 7. Play with Height.

12. 8. Garnish appropriately. Don’t lose sight of the recipe you made in the first place!

13. Remember, while these tips provide a general guide, creativity and personal style play significant roles in food presentation. Tailor these suggestions to suit the specific characteristics of your egg dish and your unique culinary vision.
