Let food stylists and Food52 editors Sarah Jampel and Ali Slagle show you their secrets!

This class helps you create beautiful dishes you can actually eat! We'll cover: - Plating, composition, and negative space - Prop styling and how to set a natural-looking scene - The stylist's tools they actually use the most, including common household objects - How to keep temperamental herbs, vegetables, and all kinds of dishes fresh and lively-looking...even tricky, time-sensitive items like drinks and ice cream - How to make even monochromatic and brown dishes like chicken look delicious! - How to capture it all with your iPhone and edit it so it’s Instagram-ready. We'll practice styling everything from still lifes and salads to pastas, challenging proteins, and desserts. Students are encouraged to bring their iPhones (and other camera phones) to document their work.
You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.
