Description:
It is said that the eyes also eat. And so, it is very important to not only prepare delicious dishes, but also decorate them, so they gladden both - taste and eyes. The presentation and unfolding of dishes are very important. A beautifully decorated salad, properly presented, causes more interest than it's "modest neighbor".
It is wise to think about how to arrange all food decorations in advance. Plates should not detract attention from the dishes being served. Fruit and vegetable decorations shoud be neat, with the shear lines clear-cut and accurate. When decorating, care must be given to keep edges of the plates clean. Decorations make meals appealing, but should not be overdone. Excessive embellishment will not make even the best dish more appealing, but rather has the opposite effect. Don't forget this rule: the more a food is varicolored and rich in components, the less it should be decorated. Three sprigs of fresh greens may be sufficient as a garnish. Conversely, a salad that does not stand out with vivid colors, can be decorated very elegantly.
In order for fruit and vegetable decorations to be effective, attention should be given to the contrast of colors. The orange color is transmitted by carrots, oranges and papaya; red with tomatoes, beets and redishes; green with cucumbers, leeks, spinach and various greens; and white with white radishes, turnips and whites of hard-boiled eggs. If you need to tint food decorations, use natural dyes, such as tomato paste, curry, paprika, saffron, beet juice, tea, coffee and green parsley juice.
In decorating salads, vegetables both - raw and boiled, can be used. For example, raw turnips are very well suited for creating white compositions, and beets for red. Leek, parsley, cucumber and mint leaves can serve as stems and leaves for culinary bouquet. Also, lemons, oranges, and avocados can be turned into attractive baskets and boats. However, some vegetables lose their decorative quality when they are heat treated.
Food decorating opens great opportunities for creativity and imagination. You will see how simple decorations (garnishes) can help you to transform your long-familiar dishes into works of art that will impress your guests!
