Good morning !!!
How are you all feeling this morning? I hope you are having a good one. How does your coffee taste today?Are you spoiling yourself with a nice breakfast? I hope you do, cause we are what we eat and a good tasty breakfast and a sweet aromatic caramel macchiato or a Brazilian espresso can totally change your whole day and your mood for the day.
If yesterday i spoke about bad food, today i'm gonna speak about good food, about food done the proper way. And delicious food as well as the coffee or even better can turn a bad day into a fabulous one, and can bring Happiness to our stomach, mouth, nose and even eyes.
We get hungry and we know "We want!" something on the minute we see something that looks absolutely delicious, we don't need to taste or smell, our eyes decide for us, leaving all the other senses behind. We delight ourselves through our eyes, feeling already the taste in our mouth before even trying it.
We all know that there is the usual day to day cooking and there are the times that we cross our limits and we go for something new, for something Wow, for something that even us didn't know we could do. Well as i said before, lately i tend to do that more and more. I like to make the usual food to look unusual, to look like a restaurant style food. Most of the time we pay more attention to the taste than to the aspect and as good as it would be, food has to look appetizing as well and that's where the plating takes its role. We all know how to put some parsley or scallions on top or our food as a decoration, or powder sugar on our tarts. But can we do more than that?
Of course we do, we all can and it takes almost the same timing as cutting the greens :) Its just a matter of research, inspiration, patience and willing. You can become a 2 Michelin Stars Chef in your own kitchen. Oh, yes you do!!!
I might not be one of those, but i will share with you 2 recipes today that you all can do in your regular kitchen, big or tiny and a few tips of plating. So you can cook delicious food but it's up to you if you want your dish to look like this:
