When it comes to food, ESPECIALLY fine dining, presentation is very important.
You eat with your eyes first, you see color, it attracts you.
Like a painting, food has composition and color proportion and theory too.
Ever had a proper bento lunch box? (cant find a good image, if i got to London soon, ill take a picture of one) There are rules to how you compose it. I know they're supposed to have the white rice, green and red salad leaves (complimentary), the brown meat with what ever sauce (katsu sauce yummm thats brown as well, but a harmonious reddish brown against the orange brown chicken...mmmmm)
Anyways the amount of the food in each compartment is as important as the attractiveness of each compartment.
Looking at this dessert....oh my gosh the tint of orange balanced with the red of the strawberries on top. Also the complimentary green of the kiwi. Gorgeous. And then that chocolate pudding below....Wow, again the complimentary green leaves and red berries. I think the brown of the chocolate sponge is actually a broken color derived from the red and green. Nice, really hungry now
