  5. Designing Your Plate Preparing an elegant plate can take precise planning. Blueprinting: Design your plate on paper beforehand, and discuss the look you are aiming to achieve. Draw pictures, make notes and work by trial and error to blueprint your idea into perfection.

  6. Plating for Effect • Let the food be the focal point. • Serving pieces should compliment the food. • Match the plate to the size, appearance, colour and flavour of the food. • Keep the design simple. • Odd numbers of small items looks best.

  7. Plating for Effect Food Structure • Make neat piles. • Create a clock. • Keep it clean.

  13. Sauces • Sauces are placed either under the food to highlight it, or on top to garnish it. • Don’t hide the food. • Remember, sauces are used to enhance the food – they are not the focus.

  48. Garnishing Tips • Don’t rush making garnishes – take your time. • Use sharp knives and proper equipment • Ice water preserves some garnishes for a few days. • Some garnishes require you to bend or curl vegetables – soak slices in a salt water solution first. • Lemon juice can remove the odour from onions and stop an apple from going brown. • Use toothpicks and wooden skewers to hold objects together. • Use vegetables at room temperature because cold vegetables tend to split and break apart.
