When I'm cooking a dinner to impress some one I use a couple rules to make sure that the dinner looks amazing even though I have pretty limited skill at it.
Rule 1. Variety
By putting a variety of food on the plate. It pulls attention away from each individual part. You look at the plate as a whole not as each easy to cook part.
Rule 2. Colour
By using colour you can really spice up a plate. Aim to have 3 different colours. An easy way to do this is with placing a base of baby spinach under the main meal. This easily adds green to the dish and all the preparation needed is to buy the stuff from the supermarket.
Rule 3. Plating Up
Like what they say on every Masterchef episode plating up is important. If you make the meal look attractive the person your trying to impress will be more likely to like it.
Rule 4. Don't Try Something New
For the main part of the meal use something you cook often. It might be spiced chicken wings or steak. This is the only part of the meal where it needs to taste nice so don't experiment do something you know how to do and do it well.
