FOOD DISPLAY
SENSES AND PALATE
• When enjoying the pleasures of eating food, all senses play a large role.
• SENSE OF SIGHT is the initial organ that is used.
(If the food looks good, then generally it will taste good.)
• SENSE OF SMELL is the second sensory gland that is utilised.
(Just by an item of food smelling good stimulates the saliva glands creating the feeling of hunger.)
• SENSE OF HEARING plays a large roll in eating food.
(The sound of steak sizzling on the BBQ or the crunch of fresh apples stimulates the thought process generating the feeling of hunger.)
• SENSE OF TASTE is the biggest sensory gland that stimulates the appetite and generates the fulfilment and pleasure through eating.
SENSES AND PALATE
THE PALATE
• The TONGUE, also known as the PALATE, is divided up into four sensory zones:
FOOD PRESENTATION
• When presenting food, there are many aesthetic characteristics that need to be taken into consideration:
»COLOUR»TEXTURE»VARIETY»ARRANGEMENT.
• If the food has eye appeal and looks good, then generally it will taste good.
COLOUR
• Is a very big characteristic of food presentation.
• Diners know what colour certain foods should be, therefore expect these foods to be served this colour.
• More contrasting colours create more eye appealing food.
• If food is all the one colour, then diners will find the food unattractive and therefore will not enjoy their meal.
• Getting to know the elements of the colour wheel, i.e. what colours are classified as primary and secondary will assist in presenting an attractive display of food.
• You should also become familiar with the complimentary, adjacent and monochromatic colour schemes.
COLOUR
COLOUR WHEEL• Primary colours include RED, YELLOW and BLUE.
• Secondary colours include VIOLET, ORANGE and GREEN (combination of two primary colours).
• Complimentary schemes e.g. Red and Green (opposite on the colour wheel),
• Adjacent schemes e.g.. Green and Yellow(side by side on the colour wheel).
• Monochromatic schemes e.g. Tint — Pink (Red and White)
Shade — Maroon (Red and Black)(tints have white added to one primary colour while shades have black added to one primary colour).

TEXTURE
• If the food a customer is being served is not up to their expectations then they will not be satisfied.
• If the customer is expecting their food to be crispy or smooth, then their food should live up to the these expectations, i.e.(if the pastry of a tart is meant to be crunchy then it should be crunchy if a custard should be smooth then it should not have any lumps in it.)
• The texture also plays a large role in the clientele that you are serving.
(If dietary requirements require food to be served soft due to old age, then you will not serve hard and crunchy food items.)
• Texture also has significance to the freshness of the food you are displaying and serving.
(If you serve celery stalks that are wilted and soft, it will indicate to the customer that your food is not fresh and therefore not appetising.)
TEXTURE
VARIETY
• The more selections that the customers have to choose from, the more appetising the food will look.
• On a canapé platter, four or five options will be more appealing and colourful as apposed to only one or two choices.
• Garnishing is a big part of providing a variety to your presentation. Having individual garnishes for different dishes distinguishes each dishes characteristics.
“Variety is the spice of life”
• There are a number of options that can be adapted to provide variety to presentation, these options can include the use of:
• An array of different foods.• Different shapes and cuts.• Different textures and colours.• Different displays, e.g. cheese boards,
chocolate fountains or fondues.• Different flavours and temperatures.
VARIETY
ARRANGEMENT
• There are certain characteristics or rules that need to be followed when arranging food.
• These characteristics include:
»Height of the dish.»Technicalities of the dish.»Textures and colours.»Food choices or options.»Type of dish i.e. soup or steak.»Cutlery and crockery being used.»The garnish that will be used.
• When arranging food to be presented, it should:
• Be arranged neatly and attractively.• Have height and air present throughout the
food. • Not be served in a pile in the middle of the
plate. • Not be any spillages or finger prints around
the rim of the plate.
ARRANGEMENT
• When arranging food, think of it as a piece of art and the plate or platter your canvas.
• The rim of the plate is known as the border and therefore all of food should be presented within the border.
• When arranging platters of canapés, look for different shapes, colours and textures.
• Platters should be presented in neat rows with different food items present on each platter.
ARRANGEMENT
PLANNING
• Along with organising your courses, menus and costing, the next major aspect of planning a function is to establish a venue. When looking at a venue, there are several considerations that need to be taken into account. These considerations involve the facilities that are available to you at each venue, these facilities include:
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • In determining the facilities available, you can then investigate into what is needed to be hired or
organised from an outside source. This process of planning a function can be one of the most time consuming and tedious tasks, however is one aspect that needs particular organisation.
