Plating and Shaping Tips
When plating up Care Food Co products, there are a number of easy ways to food style.
For the smear look that you would often find in a five star restaurant, simply find a spatula in your kitchen, squeeze a dollop of food onto the plate, lightly wand the spatula over the food to create a smooth look.
For a rounded ball, take a portion in your hands (good idea to wear disposable gloves) shape into a ball and present on the plate. The Main Dishes are particularly good for this presentation idea.
For shapes and flourishes, grab a cake piping tip, afix to the pouch nozzle then gently squeeze the pouch bottom to create the shapes available from the cake piping tip.
