Hah! I related to this comic on so many levels!
Not only do I love food – and love cooking to create beautiful, tasty dishes, but I also love to take pictures of pretty food before I taste it when dining out.
My daughter married a chef. If you’ve read very many of my posts, you have met DeAna and her husband, Andre’. Thy live in Switzerland. They love to travel and to find restaurants where tasty, beautiful food is served.
Here are a few dishes they photographed during a recent meal at a fine dining restaurant in Paris:
I love the presentation of the beef with string beans. I could do that!
Oh, and wouldn’t I love a plate of that fresh lobster? Hard to find here in south-western Montana … and if you do find it, it’s probably been frozen and it’s price is outrageous! But, I can dream, can’t I?
The single scallop is something I could do. The sauce looks yummy. What is that on top? Looks like a carrot top to me!
And the stacked cookies with ice cream between and a strawberry glaze base with a berry on top… oh my, to die for!
The meat blob on the lower right in this collage doesn’t appeal to me. Can’t tell if it’s chicken or pheasant or rabbit or what. The plate even looks like it’s chipped (Oh no, that’s artistic expression)! Yes, I could present a main dish with more character than that, couldn’t you?
The upper left is a cre’me brule’e (where do I find accents and other stuff like that on my WordPress app?). Anyway, I love that dessert – especially if they flame it at my table. This one deserves a bigger look:
No, with the strawberries, blueberries (or are they blackberries?), and tiny lemon halves on top, I don’t think they did the flaming at the table. But, doesn’t this look yummy?
Do you ever photograph your food before eating it
when you are served a pretty plate at a restaurant?
Evidently it is becoming a more and more popular practice.
My goal is to serve a plate pretty and tasty enough to entice my guests to pull out their cell phones and take a picture before their first bite at my house!
Hospitality is one of my spiritual gifts (at least that’s what many of our friends have told me). So, if you were in our area, I’d have you over for dinner… and I’d love to know what your favorite meal would be!
Sharing a meal is one of the important ways
we demonstrate our love for one another,
don’t you agree?
As Theresa Brewer once sang,
“Come on a my house, my hous-a-come-on,
I’m a gonna serve you _______…”
Fill in the blank.
What would your favorite pretty and tasty dish be?

Oui oui to each dish! And yes, I do photograph my food from time to time. I consider it an edible work of art.
If you could plate lamb chops with asparagus and potatoes, that would be great please. 😁🍽
Rack of lamb is one of my favorites to prepare. Usually I serve them on a bed of polenta made with Gruyere cheese instead of potatoes. Asparagus is my favorite touch of green an the plate, too. Come on over!!
Mm mom sounds tasty 😋
I like to cook as well. I like cooking on the grill, making pot roast, homemade soups! My mom was a good cook, I miss her chocolate sheet cake, homemade rolls and noodles and dressing.
Did you get any of your mom’s recipes? I have a whole shelf of my mom’s.
Yes, I have a few and a couple of her cookbooks she used. Sweet memories 💗
I do occasionally photograph food. Almost any Indian meal passes the test of colourful beauty and sublime taste
We have a great Indian Restaurant in Bozeman – Saffron Table. I agree, their dishes are delicious and beautiful as well. It’s my favorite go-to place for anniversaries and birthdays.
