English housewives say: "The process of cooking is a pleasure … but, unfortunately, daily." Having started to master culinary wisdom once, we improve our skills for the rest of our life. Some actions are honed to the point of being so automatic that ordinary dishes are prepared and served with eyes closed. And in everyday routine there is absolutely no time left for experiments, but I want variety! One of the ways out is to "go off the ground" when decorating everyday meals. Let's try?

For example, what is scrambled eggs to you? White, yolk … breakfast like breakfast? And you serve … a ghost! Huge yellow eyes, white hands, black mouth - better than coffee invigorates. Preparing is as easy as shelling pears, even special forms are not needed. It is enough just a little practice in artistic beating of eggs. Result? New Casper every day! After all, proteins will be poured differently each time.

How to master the otherworldly theme - go to the "bicycle" design. True, additional ingredients are needed here: vegetables, herbs and cheese. The first stage is traditional: break two eggs in a frying pan, fry and wait for readiness. We put the eggs on a plate and just here we are starting the transformation: we imagine that the yolks are the wheels of the future bicycle, to which we need to add a frame, a celery handlebar and a seat made of basil leaf. Half the battle is done, let's move on to the rider! Legs and arms made of red bell pepper, a cheese body, a carrot head, parsley or salad hair … five minutes of work and mischievous young ladies are racing across all the plates of the household in non-motorized vehicles.

Want it even easier? Make the tables look funny! White heads, public mouths, salmon tongues and noses, tomato ears, salad eyebrows, eyes - yolks with olives. The more elements, the more fun. Breakfast will turn into a physiognomy lesson with the exchange of parts of faces.

If you lay out the pieces in a wave at a small distance from each other and draw "ketchup" limbs to them, you get a centipede monster.

However, a man does not live with a single fried egg! Let's remember about the common companion of this dish - the sausage. It would seem that you can think of something with her? Boiled, fried - that's the whole science. No, no! Here it is important to cut it correctly, or rather, to show imagination when distributing the pieces on the plate. If you lay out the pieces in a wave at a small distance from each other and draw "ketchup" limbs to them, you get a centipede monster. The expressiveness of the "muzzle" is added by mayonnaise eyes and olive pupils.

Does the prospect of creating monsters scare you? Then roast the spider roast! Any recipe can be used. What will be inside the pot is not important. All the relish is in the dough lid. Make it not ordinary and flat, but in the form of a representative of arthropods: long legs hang down at the edges, black eyes goggle from the depths. The effect is amazing! A simple modernization of a familiar dish will provide a lot of positive emotions to everyone who is lucky enough to try it.

Where is the place for creativity? In the nest! Fold the spaghetti in a circle - doesn't it look like anything?

Another common combination: pasta and meatballs. Put it on a plate, but they still look like tubes and balls. Where is the place for creativity? In the nest! Fold the spaghetti in a circle - doesn't it look like anything? Now place two meat rounds in the center and provide them with carrot beaks and white sauce with olive pupils. A sprig of greenery for decoration - and now at least on the table, at least at a culinary exhibition.

By the way, about everyone's attention. Do you know who Samantha Lee is? Meanwhile, it is most directly related to the topic of our article. She is a guru in unusual design of dishes. True, she became a master not so much by vocation as by necessity: little daughters did not want to eat, and it was necessary to somehow achieve their goal. A common problem, isn't it? So why not take advantage of international experience? Creating a complete picture of food is not an easy task, but the result is worth trying. Start, for example, by trying to recreate the characters of the popular game Angry Birds: a bird - a cutlet, a slingshot - an apple, the world around - lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. Or make a "nighttime" dish: a rice owl, bean twigs, a moon and stars in a tureen. It will start to work out - go to more complex compositions: pale-faced squaw and wigwams on pea-corn lands surrounded by asparagus thickets. It's almost aerobatics!

Difficult? Then try working with just one product. Do you think that in this case nothing interesting will come of it - not enough colors and elements? Tell this to the Shanghai artist Hong Yi, who creates masterpieces from … onions! Small pieces - rings, halves, quarters - are laid out in incredible things. For example, an owl! A kind of "bitter" mosaic … you can't look without tears. When dry, you can try to repeat the "tomato" picture - it's easier. A huge bunch of cherry balls and a couple of teenagers in love, drawn with ketchup. A magnificent sight!

We invite you to evaluate the salad, neatly folded according to the principle of a Rubik's cube.

If you are attracted by the variety of colors - welcome to the vinaigrette! Not the one where all the ingredients are traditionally mixed in a salad bowl. We invite you to evaluate the salad, neatly folded according to the principle of Rubik's cube. Eaten in the same amount of time, but cooking, uh … this recipe is suitable only for those who have a certain number of free hours and endless patience. After all, cucumbers, carrots, beets, onions and other products will have to be cut into identical cubes and laid out in an ideal order, floor by floor. Do it - get a stunningly beautiful dish and speechless guests. And also … dizziness!

There are many ways to bring something new to the standard serving of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Someone lays out wheat bears on children's plates under omelette blankets, someone feeds their husbands with squid pigs, stuffing the carcasses of sea inhabitants with mushrooms and eggs, someone “bathes” rice men in tureens - there are no numbers of fantasies on the topic. Every day something new is invented. Try, imitate, experiment, create your own. Maybe next time we will tell you about your know-how in serving traditional dishes!
