Nurture and Nourish through Nature
Beauty exists in many respects, in what we see, taste, touch, or smell. Layering various texture, colour, and form are building blocks to creating an aesthetically pleasing dish that is full of flavour and nutrition.
A wealth of inspiration comes from nature, its nourishing properties and natural, beautiful forms. A creative way to present a natural element is to use the body of ingredients as a garnish on top or placed around the dish. This introduces more colour, contrast and texture, and creates a visual appeal that will sure entice guests.
The last thing a beautiful dish should have is the feeling of being too contrived. It draws back to the artistry of food itself – a building mosaic of flavour, texture and nutrition – and remaining authentic. Creating movement and space is signature to this aesthetic, as the food becomes a lively focal point.
The nourish aesthetic exudes a warm, lush feel that comes from the layering of neighbouring garnishes and tableware. It ushers in a sense of connection and cohesion with movement and space in mind.
“The impact of beautiful food is to leave others feeling nourished, loved and nurtured.”
