This is no different from any other art.
It should also be noted that my view of food is that at the end of the day, when we eat, we are saying "we don't want to die" (to put it really really bluntly) so when I extol the virtues of visually pleasing food, I think that that outlook needs to be considered as well. FWIW.
I agree with both Matt and SH. In fact, I'll copy/paste sentences together: Spending a moderate time on making something look nice is worth it, but there is only so much that can be done to make it a better plate of food before it becomes contrived spectacle and I simply look at it and see a victim of creative ego.
