Impress Your Guests with Easy Creative Food Decorations by Mariam Hamdy

I tend to constantly have this argument with people: You enjoy the drink more when it's out of your favorite mug. The food, somehow, tastes better when presented in cool, chic way. The food looks more appealing when you've practiced your dinner table setting skills. Some people say food is food and it will taste the same and be enjoyed the same in any shape or form. For me, the food presentation and food decorating makes a great deal of a difference. It makes your meal, an experience, not just getting your appetite full.

However, sometimes, making food look pretty is a real struggle. That's why, I'm always looking for online inspiration, so that when one day I finally decide to approach the kitchen, I can be prepared. This is how I came across Mariam Hamdy's Instagram page. I find food photography to be incredibly beautiful and her's was no exception. 

Mariam is a chef, recipe developer, food photographer and stylist. She posts stunning pictures of her plates and recipes on Instagram. It immediately captured my attention how she managed to use the food itself as a tool for her decor. She has really creative techniques, like leaving corn leaves on for a stunning presentation. Her style is rustic, natural and chic. So if you're looking to impress your guests, husband, wife or kids with some really creative food plating and food decorating ideas, check out some of her work below.
