This week was my mum’s birthday and we went to a stunning restaurant in Tauranga and it struck me how we eat twice – first with our eyes and then with our mouth. First impressions count! Put bluntly it has to look good; this restaurant certainly had this mastered – but some just get it ‘wrong’.

So as you are planning keep thinking of what the food will look like on the plate.  Make sure your burger is balanced and not squashed up – I always think it looks classier if there is plenty of room around the food.  It goes without saying that you need to clean up any smudges, dribbles or crumbs on the plate! And when you are selecting your garnish make sure it relates to your recipe… for example don’t use a mint garnish if there is no mint in the dish.

And of courses think about the colours… a striking combination that is interesting and appealing is what you are aiming for! Have fun!
