Drizzle Your Plate: Drizzle colorful oil, sprinkle some fresh herbs around the rim, or add a few dollops of balsamic syrup to your plate, giving your microwave dinner the royal treatment.
Pancakes: The food trick here is to layer them for a wow factor. Restaurants usually serve them in ‘stacks’ because our eye is drawn up, and it’s more striking.
Toasted Nuts: Toast nuts and seeds in a dry pan and roughly chop them up for an easy garnish. It works exceptionally well with ready-to-eat hot smoked salmon fillets or leafy greens. Slivered almonds work in tomato-based dishes. Experiment and see what combos you like. You can even make a jar of toasted seeds and nuts to have on standby.
