Garnishing
To garnish is to decorate, adorn, dress up, pretty up, embellish,
prettify. The act of garnishing can be as simple as the careful placement of
a few lettuce leaves on a plate, or as elaborate as a pâtè bust with facial
features carved from a variety of veggies and fruits.
Garnishing tools make foods taste even better. If food is more
appealing to the eye, it is more appealing to the palate.
The reshaping of fruits and vegetables, especially when more
surface is exposed, adds taste that would not otherwise be easily perceived
by the palate. In a professional kitchen, the Chef Garde Manger beautifies
the reshaping of fruits and vegetables using tools like those shown here.
The successful cook will make sure that garnishing has its
intended effect by first choosing foods with tastes that complement each
other.
As with all special effects, learning how to do it right is important. In
this case, the basics are not very difficult, however practice can make a
big difference. For best results, we recommend using step-by-step books on
the subject, or taking a course at your local specialty store, school or
college.
Care for your professional tools, and they will last you a lifetime, if
you don't wear them out first. Wash them immediately after use, to prevent
foods sticking and making it difficult (and sometimes dangerous) to clean
later. And dry them thoroughly. Lightly oil any carbon steel tools before
storing them. |
