In luxury catering, presentation is just as important as taste. A perfectly balanced dish appeals to the eyes before it touches the palate. At The Food Affairs by Sarita Bazaz, plating is treated as an art form—where colours, textures, and design come together to create an unforgettable experience with art of plating
Plating: Where Culinary Meets Creativity
The act of plating is more than arranging food on a plate. It’s about storytelling. Every garnish, brush stroke, and placement adds meaning to the dining experience. A vibrant chaat platter may capture the spirit of Indian streets, while a delicately layered amuse-bouche may echo global sophistication.
The philosophy is simple: guests eat with their eyes first. When a dish is served, the first impression sets the tone for flavour expectations. That’s why our chefs focus on balance—making sure each plate is as stunning as it is delicious.
Textures, Colours, and Harmony on the Plate
Successful plating is about harmony. Contrast of colours, the play of textures, and mindful portions create a dish that’s both striking and inviting. Imagine the crispness of tempura vegetables placed alongside a smooth saffron-infused sauce, or a burst of ruby-red pomegranate seeds brightening a delicately spiced salad.
This attention to detail makes each plate a piece of art. It’s a moment of joy for the guest, who pauses to admire before indulging.
“Plating is the frame for flavour—it turns food into an experience.” – Sarita Bazaz
Plating as Performance Art
In curated luxury dining, plating often feels like theatre. From live stations where chefs compose dishes in front of guests, to dramatic tableside presentations, every move is designed to engage and excite. It transforms catering from service into performance—where the plate becomes the stage.
This is why at The Food Affairs, every course is treated with the same reverence, whether it’s a delicate appetizer or a grand finale dessert.
Beyond Taste, Into Art
Plating is not an afterthought—it’s the final brushstroke on a culinary masterpiece. At The Food Affairs by Sarita Bazaz, we see each plate as a canvas, each dish as a painting, and each event as a gallery where art and appetite unite.
