Culinary Plating Course with a Professional Photoshoot

Gift (yourself) a culinary experience where taste meets aesthetics. In this special hands-on course, you will dive into the art of plating – how a dish becomes a true visual composition that impresses even before the first bite.

You will learn how to arrange food beautifully, in a balanced and appetizing way, so that every dish looks as if it has been served in a restaurant. You will discover how colors, textures, and shapes work together to create an elegant and harmonious plate worthy of a photograph.

During the course you will prepare and plate:

• Arugula salad with orange, pistachios and prosciutto with burrata cream – a fresh and elegant composition with crispy seasonal vegetables and delicate “lace” leaves, combining freshness, creaminess, and crunch.
• Octopus with sweet potato purée, lemon sauce, crispy glass noodles and colorful quinoa – a modern interpretation with rich textures, vibrant colors, and a precise balance between freshness, acidity, and depth of flavor.
• Dessert “Raspberry with Pistachio” – a refined and impressive finale with pistachio and mascarpone mousse, raspberry variations, and crunchy biscuit crumbs, presented in a stylish and elegant dessert composition.
• After plating, the dishes will be photographed by professional photographer Eli Negrieva. Each participant will receive one professionally edited photo of each dish in high resolution, as well as a gallery of images capturing the process and atmosphere during the course.
