My Creations

 

Wondering what has been keeping me busy? THE KITCHEN! When I'm not in the kitchen, all i wanna do is just sleep all day and watch TV. What a sad life huh? Nonetheless, here I am missing all of you and will make up for my loss of sharing to you all.

Ever since, I always wanted to become a great food stylist. I admit I am a sucker for beautiful plating and what nots. Being a chef student, I am quite aware of what's going on in one's plate. One thing I learned from my chef instructor is you have to follow the basic rules in food styling... BUFF

B- BALANCE

U- UNITY

F- FLOW

F- Focal Point

Remember everyone, think of your plate as an empty canvas awaiting to be painted on. Keep it simple as well... "Less is more" :)

Another inspiration of mine is Delores Custer. Here famous book, Food Styling, is really helpful. It's available in National Bookstore, Powerbooks, Fully Booked, etc. As I checked recently, a copy of her book costs around Php 5,000 (Approximately US$120). If you have the time, do take a look at her book :)
