I think food, to be recognized as delicious and to die for needs to have 3 characteristics a. Taste b. Nutrients c. Style. Meeting these three requirements will surely ignite your senses - taste, touch and sight making the food you personally prepared, a sure hit. Our country perhaps is best known for its abundant recipe of foods with delectable taste, superb nutrients and creative styling and preparation. Among the three, the way food is served and presented in a way was the least of anyone's priority. The thought process involved in presenting a dish is no joke as this sets the first impression one has on a certain dish.
Food styling is not just the act of putting together a dish rather an art that requires skill and knowledge. It is through this that a simple dish becomes a work of art.
Food styling has now become very popular in the Philippines. CCA Podium recognizes this in developing a short course on food styling and food photography.
