There are five basic elements when plating;
1) Create a framework. Plating can start with drawings and sketches to visualize.
2) Keep it simple. Select one ingredient to focus on and utilize space to simplify the presentation.
3) Balance, balance, balance. You want to balance the dish.
4) Be mindful of portion sizes.
5) Highlight the key ingredient! We want the guest to see the focal point.
I put all of this into what I do. Each event, each dish. It's second nature now, but it's all a part of the process.

I stoped off at my usual spot this morning and cooked up a little snack of pan roasted cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil and Creamy crumbled feta cheese. What a way to start your holiday Monday.
