The three C’s of styling food
Contrast

Don’t forget to garnish your drink or dish. They are proved to add flavour and moreover is also believed to add a pop of colour, making it look fresher.
Canvas
Remember the rule of thumb, simple looks adorable. When you have plain white dishware or white dishware with some detailing only on the rim will create a great canvas. You can decorate your dish the way you like and also add as many colours as you want. When you have patterns of high contrast that are busy, they compete with the colours and looks of your food. Therefore, don’t let your utensils steal the appeal of your dish.
