Create layers
In addition to color, height is another key element when arranging a plate. Layering and stacking food can add a lot of dimension to a plate. ice cream and waffles,Mozzarella and tomato slices, Hash browns look delicious piled high. Filling side dish leaning against the tower adds even more interest and fills the space on the plate.
Here are the best methods for layering and stacking:
– Stack proteins on starches (e.g. steak on mashed potatoes, salmon fillet on quinoa).
– Sauces can be used as a base layer on the plate with the rest of the food arranged on top.
– The layers can make the food appear larger. Try bulking up salads rather than squashing them and stacking vegetables rather than arranging them in a single layer.
