Food presentation is such an art! Here are a few tips:

1. Choose the Right Plate: A white or neutral plate makes colors pop!
2. Layering: Build height with ingredients—think stacks or towers!
3. Sauce Drizzle: Use a squeeze bottle to create fun patterns with sauces.
4. Garnish Wisely: Fresh herbs, edible flowers, or microgreens add a nice touch.
5. Keep It Simple: Less is often more! Focus on a few key elements to avoid clutter.

Have fun experimenting! Your dishes will be as gorgeous as they are delicious!
