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?
tasty slop is tasty slop
100% sure, but it’s definitely tastier if it looks tasty
It’s not always necessary, and there are diminishing returns, but it does bring your food to the next level, especially if you’re entertaining guests
The diminishing returns thing is my rule of thumb. Doesn’t need to be fancy, just needs to not look like you slopped it out of a can.
I had some refried beans literally still in the shape of a can twice this week lol
