I have always paid attention to presentation while cookin specially salads. Once we had invited a friend with her husband . I spent hours making a salad and make it look nice and presentable Her husband was a chef working for an airline and all the more reason to put in effort They turned up late almost well past our lunch hour and with regret I had to scoop a spoon or two from that salad and eat our food. They were not destined to see my effort and I was disappointed Would you attempt what you see in the image that I picked from the Net? Image credit:

What a shame you could not show the result of your efforts. I would attempt for sure to make what I see in the image.

I agree that other than taste, presentation is also important.

Somehow it tastes better when something is presented nicely

Vince would go to that sort of trouble but not me.

@allknowing He goes to a lot to trouble. I'm in awe of his patience sometimes. I like things to have only 3 or 4 ingredients.

Presentation matters a lot to me. It should be appealing and it plays an important role in increasing the appetite. Even in my daily cooking and serving to my family, I would do a decent neat presentation

I was too much into it in my younger days To some extent it exists even now but not so much

@allknowing I can relate to that. The energy and enthusiasm goes down with age, and we also get so many other things on our plate to take care of. Now my daughters are getting into it, so it hopefully will continue
