The French approach the food on their plates with an eye toward the visual, toward the arrangement of shapes and colors ...they are concerned with the blends among foods, the delicate variations and shadings that can be obtained by increasing or decreasing certain ingredients, adding one flavor, subtracting another... (from McCall's Introduction to French Cooking)
