• Select a plate large enough to hold food without hanging off the
edge.
• Always arrange the best side of food on plate to avoid letting

the diner rearrange them before eating.
• Arrange vegetable on plate, that every item should identifiable.
• Create a center of attention and relate everything to it.

• Garnishes are not added just for color, but sometimes they
are needed to balance a plate by providing an additional
element.
• Pour sauce around or under the dish or covering only a

part of the dish. Always think of the sauce as part of the
overall design of the plate.
• Avoid making food too elaborate.
