After watching lots of the latest Masterchef series, I now see why presentation of food is so important and any food can taste better than it actually is by being nicely prepared. So when I decided to try a recipe of Frozen Bassa with rice, lemon and garnished with leeks (inevitably), the stylish (!) presentation involved cutting the leeks length-ways and placing alongside the fish to make it look nice. OK - not exactly sophisticated but a start and at least I'd thought about it.
The Consort arrived home from work and while I was busy taking the fish out of the oven, she very kindly started serving up the Leeks. I couldn't help it - before I could stop myself I was shouting out "Hands off my Leeks" and then had to quickly explain that they were the focal point of the presentation and had to be carefully laid onto the plates after the rice and fish had been served.
Think I'm starting to take this all too seriously !
