Plate with clarity and purpose

Good presentation helps people understand a dish and enjoy eating it. Practise with zaatar manoushe prepared from the recipe.

  1. Choose a plate with space around the bread. Decide what to highlight, such as the zaatar topping or the baked edge.
  2. Serve it whole or cut consistent pieces to suit sharing. Arrange without hiding the topping beneath a pile and leave out unnecessary decoration.
  3. Wipe the rim and view the plate from the guest’s position. Check that the food is visible and easy to eat, then photograph it to compare with another arrangement.
