Do you like to arrange your food attractively?

This depends on my mood and energy levels. Even for a simple bread sandwich I decorate it colorfully and present it to my husband with flourish when I feel energetic.Otherwise the best of dishes are transferred to a vessel and goes non descript.Of course the taste would be appreciated but there is nothing much about the presentation . My son also appreciates and loves my decorative presentations and he is waiting to buy me some nice ceramic plates where the colors would look more attractive and delightful.You see, we use stainless steel plates and cookware and there is not much scope for the colors to look delightful in this.So, he would always say'Oh! You ought to give this in a whilte bow/'.When I make home made ice cream too .I take painss to decorate it and present it and he comments like this. However, I have catered to his desire and bought a few icecream cups and this does look good.

Thats good you have made your breakfast with pretty looking bright color and a nice arrangement.It is true that "Presentation is half the enjoyment of a good meal" But I think If a meal is not tasty as its color and arrangement then I don't need the presentation, I like enjoy meal when it teates well.

Nope. Only with the big holiday meals. It comes out a mess so.,..... HAHAHA! I just plop it on the plates normally then scarff it up anyhow. Dad and my wife don't mind. At least they have yet to complain about it. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

If its for me i could care less really what it looks like. but i have a daughter who is slowly becoming less and less picky (knocks on wood) and if i cut it the food and arrange it very pretty she is more likely to eat it. . this morning it was yop in a pretty glass in the center of a plate, then i cut the cinomon toast in small strips and put them lengthwise across the plate pointing towards the glass and between the taost sticks i put honey dew cubes, cantalope cubes, and some strawberries. she gobbled it up. thank goodnes! Here's my daughters first xmas dinner lol.

My hubby does when he presents a meal. He enjoys it I think. Usually I am in such a hurry with a five year old and a newborn. I just slap the food onto the plate. These days lucky to even eat it while it is warm.

Well I am all day at work and when I come from home I would be so hungry that I don't care the presentation of the plate. However my husband loves to decorate his plate and when he cooks he will make a big colorful plate. It is nice having a good presentation even my child eats more .

I don't care in the slightest what it looks like if I'm just preparing food for me. It all goes down the same way after all! I do try and make some sort of an effort when I'm doing dinner for everyone else though.

Hello Dear Dragon. I do enjoy arranging food, especially when i am treating my girlfriend with something that i prepare as i want her to enjoy it at maximum. I like to use different spices or leaves for decorating the food, or simply use what comes to mind at the moment of preparing it

Hi dragon54u, You are making me hungry. Where's my Friskies and milk? I love making pretty deviled eggs. I put the yolk mixture in a cake decorator and use the spiral tip. It makes like a sunburst pattern in the egg. Sprinkle some paprika and there you have it!
