Cooking School is About Presentation
August 19th, 2008 by BC
Cooking schools culinary arts teach you about presentation – one of the most important and forgotten parts of the entire cooking process. Presentation, however is a much bigger deal that most people realize. Let’s look at all of the things affected by presentation:
Most of everything in life is based off a first impression. Ergo, one can assume that if you throw a big glob of chowder on a plate that resembles regurgitation, it is very likely that the first impression is “eww.” What that does is cause people to focus on any negative qualities of the food, because they are looking for what is wrong with it due to their first impression.
The opposite holds true as well. Make the food look delicious, and the individual may miss that you put a dash too much curry.
Also, depending on where you cooking, your customers are paying for price and quality. Evne when the food looks good, price is still on their mind, and you want them to rest at ease and ensure that they believe their food was worth the value.
Culinary Arts Institutes provide this type of training. That is the reason people choose to attend cooking schools.
