Plating up<\/strong> refers to magic and art in the kitchen. There are several trends<\/strong> on this subject. The vision we share at Costa Verde is the outcome from the work done in Portugal and across several international markets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We want to provide success to your food and food preparation<\/strong>. In this article, we’ll provide you some simple tips<\/strong>, which will undoubtedly make a difference when it comes to displaying your plates<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

7 Plating Up Tips to Surprise at the Table<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Choose white crockery<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

During plating up<\/strong>, the dish acts as a painting, which you can colour with food. This will necessarily have to be elegant, to contrast<\/strong> with the various delicacies. Let us, first of all, propose any piece of Costa Verde<\/strong><\/a> in white<\/strong>. Opting for an article of this color will allow you to create a canvas<\/strong> on which you will express all your magic and art<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Use simplicity<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Another extremely useful tip is to follow the old saying keep it simple<\/em><\/strong>. The idea put forward by Leonardo da Vinci that “simplicity is the last degree of sophistication” is in line with what we defend at Costa Verde<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Highlight a food item<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Remember that less is more<\/em><\/strong> and choose a special ingredient<\/strong> to highlight your plating. It may be meat, pasta, fish or simply a vegetable. Use the remaining ingredients in order to decorate<\/strong>, to create magic and art! Therefore, you will focus your attention on the main element<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Play with different colours and textures<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Because we are talking about art, use colours<\/strong> as well as textured <\/strong>food items. Allow yourself to travel around the world of sensations. A meal<\/strong><\/a> in which there is a particular care about plating aims much more than the satisfaction of a need from the well-known pyramid of Maslow. It is, in addition, a social moment, during which people are open to experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Pay attention to quantity<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

It is important to make sure you provide the exact amount<\/strong> of food<\/strong><\/a> on the plate. This old variable is often overlooked when it comes to author’s cuisine<\/strong> or a more refined plating. Finding the ideal amount is not easy. Always bear in mind the people you serve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Offer balanced meals<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Compose a dish with the proteins, carbohydrates and vegetables needed to get a balanced meal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Give a final touch<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Finally, present the dish clean<\/strong>, by removing possible crumbs and drips of sauces that may have fallen during the plating. These elements will surely create noise on your plate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If your goal is to create good plating<\/strong> with your delicacies, do not forget the most important rule: Have fun<\/strong> at the kitchen through art and magic!<\/p>\n
