Presentation is an art form separate from the quality of your cooking.
Watching cooking shows, you will often see them tucking a sprig of
something for presentation. You can tell who has talent and who doesn't.
What have you done for presentation?

I like my crisply white Corelle dishware-there is something about
print/pattern/colored dishware that just throws off the food for me. I
like to take large grain black pepper and sprinkle quite a bit around
the food on the plate. Serves two purposes-extra pepper for those who
like it, and decoration.

I have one of those 3 tier graduated trays. Once (for someone who had
just married) I filled it with frosted cupcakes and then took long thin
curling ribbons, tied them to the top center point, and curled them to
fall down the sides. However, I skimped on the cupcakes, and learned
that presentation should never outdo the food.
