You'll get a recipe here, there or anywhere for it.
But absolutely beautiful chicken quesadilla.
Delish.
You've nailed the most important part first and foremost.
You feel confident in the kitchen.
You're making nice things.
That, I mean, that over... That trumps anything.
You chat about chefs now at our level, professionals or whatever.
It took us all to a certain age or whatever to get to the point where we were like going, you just become genuinely confident and happy with things being right.
When you stop worrying about presentations whenever you're really at the mecca stage...
Another thing to understand is not every dish you make, it's possible to make it look good.
Like if you look at casseroles or stews or a butter chicken that we talked about with Shane earlier, like these dishes just, they look the way they look.
Stroganoff, for example, the key thing there is something like that is maybe buy something authentic, like where you might see like an old style Russian type of…
plate or whatever and you're like instead of it looking molded and you're you're doing a timbal or ice or whatever and you think that that's cool it isn't if you change the plate that it goes into bring the elegance from the actual vessel and just worry about getting the dish right so presentation comes in a lot of different forms and it's it's literally what it's served in as well as what it looks like you know what i mean but it's not something i'd be too harsh on myself over if
Again though... If you want to fancy it up... And it comes to dinner... Or maybe you're doing... A special occasion... And that's where the presentation... Takes on a wee bit more meaning... Look into the actual dish... That you're cooking... Is it something... Like a chicken curry... Is hard to make look good... But if you're pan roasting... A breast of chicken... And you're able to slice it up... Into little pieces... You brown the skin...
You can do loads of other, you can scrape off the bone, get it bone white, make it look like all these tiny little tricks.
So you can make a breast of chicken look incredible.
Very difficult with a chicken curry.
So it's all about the dish too.
Look, you can stick a poppadom on it.
