The Food Stylist

• While many people interested in the Culinary Arts
  choose to work in the kitchen as chefs, there are
  a few others that are interested in the more
  unusual culinary careers that are out there. One
  of those is being a Food Stylist.

What Does a Food Stylist Do?

• Food stylists combine culinary art and
  science to prepare food for cookbook, advertising
  photographs, television commercials, and scenes
  in movies. Stylists are responsible for finding
  unusual ingredients and preparing food so it
  looks freshly made and appetizing. A culinary
  school degree is a must for a food stylist, as
  the job requires extensive knowledge of how food
  acts, both aesthetically and scientifically .

SUGGESTIONS

• Shape- you can choose plates with different
  shapes and sizes. Make sure that the plate holds
  food comfortably giving the perfect appearance
  that is not too crumby (molle) and brassy
  chocolate.
• Colour- Use plates that contrast the food colour.
  For instance use white plates for dark food or
  dark chocolate.

• Place the main part of your dish at the front
  of the plate. If you have different sizes of food
  items place the tallest item at the back and
  follow it in a descending way.

• Before the food is placed add an extra shine
  by sprinkling finely chopped herbs, nuts, or
  spices on the lightly oil coated rim of the
  plate. For dessert plates you can sprinkle cocoa
  or powdered sugar.
• When arranging the food don't leave too much
  space between the items, at the same time do not
  overcrowd it. You dont need to arrange all the
  items in the centre.
