  2. Garnishes—What are they? • From the French,“Garnir” • meaning to decorate or furnish • Garnish is an attractive decoration. Garnish should always be edible. • Purpose is to increase nutritional value and act as a visual aid (strawberries as garnish tell people that the cheesecake is strawberry flavored.)

  3. Principles of Garnish • Should complement the flavors and textures of meal and not compete with it or take attention away from it . For example, a sandwich should be garnished on the side. • Garnish should be a good partner with its food item. Pair things that are alike in some way. • Vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers and cabbages can be hollowed out and used as bowl for raw vegetable dip.

  4. Garnish – some habitual pairings • There are some standard garnishes. • Salad: seasoned croutons (dried bread with oil and flavorings – sometimes fried, sometimes baked) • Cake: whipped cream, chocolate shavings, mint sprigs, cherries or small whole fruit. • Beef, lamb and pork: apples, parsley, pats of herbed butter (called compound butter) • Poultry: (chicken, goose, duck) fruit, herbs, nuts and melon – like cantaloupe.

  13. Garnishing Tools • Vegetable Peeler • Shave skin from fruits and veggies – used to make decorative carrot curls and chocolate curls

  14. Garnishing Tools Butter Curler • Used to make a range of garnishes from curls to grooves. • Can make marble-sized balls out of butter or other soft foods. • At one place, the test calls it a “butter cutter.” Be prepared for it. It’s in an answer choice.

  15. Garnishing Tools • Zester • Remove small strips of citrus peel and shavings from carrots, and radishes. • Can be used to shave colorful strips (very small ones) from firm vegetables like carrots.

  16. Garnishing Tools • Melon Baller or Parisienne Scoop • Used to scoop out balls of cheese, potatoes, butter, or melons How to use a melon baller http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2wzviLVarA

  17. Garnishing Tools • Tournee knife • Used to make tournee cut on potatoes, carrots, etc. • A tournee cut is a seven-sided oblong shape.

  18. Garnishing Tools • Channel Knife • Used to pare (this is the important verb to remember) strips of peel from citrus fruits and to cut thin grooves from carrots, cucumbers, and mushrooms.

  19. Garnishing Tools • Decorating Spatula • Used to smooth icing on cakes. Can be used to create designs in soft foods like frosting, cream cheese and butter.

  21. Garnishing Tools • Fluting Knife • Triangular blade • Used for v-cut detail work • Often used for melons and bell peppers

  22. Garnish types • Plate Painting • Flavorful sauces used to decorate the plate. Done with a plastic squeeze bottle. • Most common sauces are chocolate and raspberry sauce because of their color and flavor. • When plating fruits and desserts – the rim of the plate should be clean. Accidental drippings should be wiped away – not left there.

  23. Garnishes • Should be an integral part of the dish. • A good garnish ENHANCES the food in taste and appearance. • It should not compete with or draw attention away from the food. • A garnish is meant to draw attention to the food, not take attention away from it.

  24. Guidelines for Garnishes • Function • Used to create a visual impression and also add a taste experience • Flavor • Should taste fresh and complement the taste of the item • Color/Visual Appeal • Contrasting color makes garnish stand out.

  25. Guidelines for Garnishes • Textural Appeal • Add a different texture to the dish or presentation • Appropriate Size • Keep scale in mind • Too small — will look lost on plate • Too large — compete with the food for focus
