Cuisine of the month:
Made some pumpkin muffins and realized how in a lot of my cooking, I don't care too much about uniformity or presentation.
I'm pretty functional about it - like the meal and my previous creations speak for themselves. If I'm making something for a party or whatever, I try to make things look a little better, but I 100% prioritize flavor and texture more than anything else.
Other people who cook/bake, what are your thoughts on visual presentation?
A little bit of effort goes a long way. I obviously skip overt decoration for weeknight meals for myself, but like for a pie? That shit is going to look fancy, I'm imprinting the crust with a fork, I'm weaving the dough strips up top for a checkerboard look, I'm sprinkling some extra large sugar granules up top. I'm using warm plates and I'm putting a little effort into plating the entree and any sides, not letting them touch if possible.
