You’ve probably heard the old adage that “you eat with your eyes first.” How a food looks visually is one of the first sensory impressions we get before we dive in. So it makes sense that if a dish looks visually appealing, it will be more appetizing to us. People often ask me how they can get their families to eat healthier foods. Ultimately, how a dish tastes is the most important thing so my tips usually revolve around how to maximize flavor without maximizing the calories and fat. But almost equally as important is how a dish looks. Perhaps it comes from all of my years doing food styling for the blog and my cookbooks, but the truth is that I love to make my food look pretty. So here’s another tip- get creative and dress it up! It doesn’t have to be complicated- something as simple as a garnish of colorful herbs, chopped nuts or a sprinkle of freshly grated cheese can dress up a healthy dish and make your family more likely to want to eat it.
