Creative And Decorative Food Display – An Art Form

Anyone can cook food and serve it up on a plate. But how many people understand that creative and decorative food display is an art? Tempt your diners with food that is displayed artfully and decoratively. It may sound like hard work but it is easy and achievable to create a decorative and stylish food display. Food displayed artfully will be so much more appealing than dishes piled high with food just plonked on a plate. Meals can become an art form with creative and decorative food display.

Stylish food presentation is made easy if you use some imagination and some props – just like an artist or a theatre production. Catering equipment is an ideal place to start searching for your stylish and artful food display equipment. Catering equipment is ideal as it is made specifically for catering companies and so is styled for restaurants, cafes and bars and will give you a head start and some great ideas.

Tabletop items such as bowls, dishes and serving platters are ideal but a new range of modern serving food display items are now available to enhance your food serving at the table. Many bistros and pub diners are now using other tabletop decorative items to create stylish food presentation. There are metal cones available for serving small pieces of fish, scampi or chips to add a modern stylish twist to any dining occasion.For a gastropub look small metal bucket style holders and metal baskets are available – just line with parchment and serve chips, chicken or fish in a basket as a novelty.

Crockery doesn’t have to be just plain white or patterened plates and serving dishes. Crockery in the Churchill Igneous range offers some beautiful artful food presentation platters. The range is actually part of the Arte De Cuisine range and offers some really lovely designed food display crockery. The range includes some beautiful stone crockery for cassoulets or rustic soups. There is also a lovely range of innovative wooden platters, which can be used to serve up modern or traditional favourite dishes. Coloured crockery or glassware can also be used to enhance the presentation of the food you serve to diners. Quirky but stylish glass can really offset the ingredients of a dish and can give creative and decorative food display.

Retro glassware can enhance traditional or retro desserts and starters. Stylish presentation can also be about giving an authenticity to your food so a knickerbocker glory for instance will always look more stylish in a retro glassware range. 

You don’t just need to use catering equipment to create stylish meal presentation or food display be creative. Bread cooked and served in small terracotta clean plant pots is really lovely and adds a rustic charm.  Salads and desserts can be served in a bowl made of ice -use leaves or herbs dropped into the water between two bowls and frozen. Greaseproof or parchment paper may be used to serve pies, muffins and portions of food. Wicker baskets are great for serving salads, bread rolls and even basket meals of chips and chicken. Platters of slate or metallic materials are great for serving up really modern simplistic dishes to give a platform for the dish itself. Just make sure that pieces to be used are clean, sterile and suitable for food use. A lot of these pieces can be found from catering equipment suppliers and are therefore guaranteed suitable for food use.
