About

 

DEEP PLATE aspires to be an open source of inspiration for professional chefs.  

Chefs now have an outlet to continuously present their culinary philosophy in new, creative ways.  Chefs are no longer limited to the resources in their current operation.    

Innovate and share!

This blog will have multiple purposes:

• to be a tool to practice creative plate presentation through monthly plate composition exercises
• to be a reference for the chef community on plate presentation (e.g. use Search function for particular food presentations)
• to offer exposure to the most innovative chefs in terms of presentation

Every month, participants who register will be sent a plate, platter, bowl or other piece of china at no charge and be asked to submit their creative presentation in photo and word format.   There are no rules on type or course to be plated.  The resulting submissions will be posted.   Submissions will be categorized and made available for future reference. 

Please join us!
