Carefully choose the right plate keeping in mind colour, consistency and the quantity you’re serving

White is a safe choice of plate colour as it creates high contrast against most foods

Select a focal point on your plate and place elements around it. A tried-and-tested way is to place the protein element of the dish at 2 o’clock, the starch at 10 o’clock and the greens/vegetables between 3 and 9 o’clock

Cleanliness is the key to good presentation. Make sure the food doesn’t look messy on the dish, and wipe the edges and bottom of the plate before serving
