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?
I’m so bad for presentation. I prioritize flavor and texture or practicing a technique, I never even think about what it looks like. Sometimes good technique lends itself to aesthetic, like getting a great crust on a steak or doing an egg wash on a loaf of bread, but a lot of the time I don’t think at all about the visual. The food doesn’t suffer, but yeah, once in a while I’d love to put down a meal that people want to post on instagram.
