We have always been told that “eat what appeals to our eyes”. Thats why the presentation of a recipe becomes so much important for chefs & culinary schools to teach that sometimes it becomes more important than the actual taste.
Have we been told or taught what can appeal our eyes..?
We have always seen white color chapatis, yellow color cheelas, white color breads, beige color pancakes, light color sweet corn soup with corn flour, light color vanila cakes & muffins, white color parathas, crepes, white color dosas, idlis etc..
We always perceived in our own way that something which is brown is either not made properly, is dirty, not good, tasteless or sometimes its tooooo healthy…Isn’t..???
Don’t you think so its time to bring the change..bring the evolution in food products and teach our kids & future generation that Brown should be their new favorite..!!
