Looks matter. Sure, it’s just one factor but we can’t deny its weight. Whether we’re choosing a jacket or a car, we want it to to please our eyes. And food is no exception. Yes, it should taste good, yes, it should be nutritious but it can be beautiful, too. And don’t worry, you don’t have to be a 13-year-old Instagrammer to admire the colors and arrangements of your dish.

The subreddit r/CulinaryPlating is a perfect example of that. You can find everyone from home cooks to professional chefs among its members, and they all celebrate a gorgeous plate when they see one.
