How to Make a Fancy Garnishing Within no Time


Visual appeal is what garnishing manipulates while used as an embellishment on ready food. Preparing a garnish requires a lot of care as the result should attract the eye. To make the exercise quick and efficient, you need a food chopper to go about the cutting, mincing and dicing your chosen fruits or vegetables. A slap chop, is the best for cutting fruits and vegetables for food garnishing.

Garnish can be used to contrast the color of the food, for instance, sprinkling chives on a meal of potatoes, or when cocktail umbrella is added to a drink to enhance the visual appeal.

First it is essential to pay attention to the kind of food being served before going on to make a garnish. Though the garnish is not meant to alter the flavor and taste of the food, its presence should attract attention. Once you have identified the meal being served, go on and make a choice of fruits or vegetables to be used for the garnish.

Once you have identified the right fruits or vegetables, clean them thoroughly and use a slap chop to cut them into desirable sizes and shapes so that they appear attractive when laid out. This food chopper is very efficient for dicing most vegetables and fruits but not as evidenced by the slap chop review where some customers are not convinced with slap chop’s ability to cut tomatoes and potatoes. All the same, most people commended the ability of the appliance and appreciated its efficiency and ability in cutting fruits and vegetables. 
 
The process of cutting of the vegetables and fruits is to be guided by whether the garnish is either being used on foods, drinks or both. In essence, garnish prepared for drinks should have a design with which to sit on the glass of wine or juice as opposed to that made for food and can rest on the plate.
After you have completed slicing and dicing the items, lay them nicely on the buffet table. The color of the garnish is very important and it should appeal to the eyes of the guests to be served.
