Looks matter. Sure, it's just one factor but we can't deny its weight. Whether we're choosing a jacket or a car, we want it to please our eyes. And food is no exception. Yes, it should taste good, yes, it should be nutritious but why can't it be beautiful too?

The subreddit r/CulinaryPlating is a perfect example of that. Its member list has everyone from home cooks to professional chefs, and they all celebrate a gorgeous plate when they see one. Here are some of them.
