Instead of tossing all the various vegetables I have to make salad, I have arranged them on my white plate to combine certain colors to get together or separate them.
PICTURES SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS. PLEASE BE PATIENT AS IT DOWNLOADS. From the city of the melting pot and beyond, this is my bird's eye view on food. As a foodie, my choice for discussion will always be food related; either through my own preparation; or restaurants that strike me for its: 1) taste, 2) presentation, 3) value or creativity. Food is beautiful. And sharing its beauty delights me. I hope that you enjoy and learn something new each time you view! Join me!

SALAD ART
Contemporary cooking is all about presentation of food besides flavors. I take the plate like canvas and arrange vegetables available in my refrigerator.
To the left, I used sliced fennel and flowers. Top right, opposite the fennel are thinly sliced rainbow radish which I bunched up and balanced the pink on the left. I used the yellow cauliflower or the one color that is not common to any of the vegetables on my plate to the center with the darkest colors on one side. The dots you see is balsamic vinegar glaze which could be the dressing for the vegetables except for the arugula which already has dressing. I like plating my food to excite the palette and change the mood on the table. It is like a three dimensional painting.
