What are two ways other than garnishing by which presentation of food may improved?

1. Color and Texture Contrast: Play with different colors and textures on the plate. This creates visual interest and makes the food more appealing. For example:

* Color: Serve bright green asparagus with a vibrant red tomato salsa and a creamy white yogurt sauce.

* Texture: Combine crispy fried onions with soft mashed potatoes and a juicy grilled steak.

2. Height and Dimension: Don't be afraid to add height to your dishes. This can be achieved by using bowls, ramekins, or even stacking ingredients strategically. Creating layers and dimension on the plate makes it more visually engaging. For example:

* Stacking: Layer a salad with different greens, chopped vegetables, and a protein like grilled chicken or fish.

* Height: Serve a soup in a deep bowl, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of herbs.
