Plating food goes much further than simply serving it: it lets you bring together colours, shapes and space on your tableware. In this blog, you will discover how you can transform your dish by using round plating on the plate.

Plating your dish

Plating a dish is like composing a masterpiece. There are countless ways to present your dish, but one essential factor is creating a visually appealing picture once you have chosen your tableware sets. It is all about balance: different colours and shapes should work together on your tableware to create a feast for the eyes and enhance the taste experience.

Round shapes on tableware

Simple and beautiful. Round plating is a particularly effective technique. By using the centre of the plate as a focal point, you can maximise the space around the dish. This gives you the opportunity to play with symmetry and asymmetry, creating a unique visual impact. Using tools such as round stainless steel cutters will help you to get your dish perfectly round.

Step-by-step plan for Round Plating

  1. Choose the right plates: Start by selecting plates that complement the colors and textures of your dish. The right choice of tableware lays the foundation for a successful presentation.

  2. Place the dish in the center: Place your main ingredient in the center of the plate, using a round stainless steel cookie cutter if necessary to create the desired round shape.

  3. Go High: Give your dish an extra dimension by playing with height. Add sprouts, shoots or green leaves for that little bit extra.

  4. Finishing touch: Clean your plate and add any final touches. It is ready to serve.
