#PlayWithYourFood basically entails, having fun with your food while creating cute and colourful designs.
Instead of just having a boring snack, try cutting out little shapes or create a piece of art with your ingredients.This will add an element of excitement and it will make you want to eat it (after you’ve taken a picture of it for your Instagram, of cause).
This technique could come in handy when wanting to disguise healthy snacks for kids, making decorations for parties or simply just to have fun when preparing and eating your meals or snacks. Playing with your food can be fun and exciting for both grownups and kiddies alike and if you’re a parent it will offer you an opportunity to spend some time with the kids while doing something functional for both of you. Multi-tasking at its best!
I don’t know about you but when something looks good it instantly makes me want to munch away at the goodness that awaits. If your masterpiece looks way to good to devour and you just want to stare at it all day long, I understand – just take a perfect picture of it and upload to your Instagram, and use the hashtags #Food24_sa and #PlayWithYourFood. This way, you’re sharing it for everyone to see and you’ll always have it to refer back to.
