Chapter 1. Tips for Presentation of Dishes
When the time comes to serve, the eaters interest should be at the forefront of any serving staffs mind. There are several ways to deliver a meal to your guests, so the following are merely some suggestions. If you find something that is more effective, feel free to use it instead.
- Smaller bones and stuffed meats can be presented with the meat around the bone, to give a feeling of the size of the animal you were dining on the table.
- Stronger meats can be placed above smaller meats to show dominance.
- A row of side dishes can present with varying heights - the higher the plate, the more critical it is to taste or rare.
- A row of side dishes can also show in varying depths - the more profound the container, the more necessary it is to taste or rare it is.
- Varying colors of flowers can also be used as a garnish to differentiate different types of food.
- Vegetables and fish can present in the same way - with the vegetable/fish placed in a soil bed and with plant life set around the edges.
- Meat Pies and other assembled items, when served, should be put on a plate with cloth around the edges, topped with salt, pepper, and a solitary flower, if available.
- When mixing finely-ground spices, remember that if the grind is too fine, it may lose its flavor more quickly, due to the more delicate layer of spices not being able to absorb as much moisture.
- Do not place finished dishes on top of unfinished dishes, which may damage both plates and food.
- The use of small bowls to dish items into is an excellent idea to reduce spillage or dropping.
- Decorated dishes can be prepared in advance of the cooking process and kept in an ice-filled container. It benefits from keeping the food chilled until the last moment, meaning.
Each cook can have a clear mind and focus entirely on getting the dish right without the distractions of a hot dish. It is useful, especially at high-class parties, where presentation is essential.
- If there is a clear liquid, the food will be served in or around. Ensure there is a way of being drained off like a hole below a serving tray. It will avoid accidents such as slipping on the liquid.
- It is a good idea to get your cooks to use a pair of tongs or a spatula to move food around, as this will reduce the chances of the food that will damage airborne particles.
- When serving multiple types of meat at a meal, serve the fattier meats first. They will have been stored at a higher temperature and less forgiving of a drop-in temperature.
- Any resulting waste from incorrect cooking can turn into canaps for guests.
- Be sure to label all cooking utensils such as pots, pans, spoons, and knives clearly. It makes it much easier to replace missing items and stops the risk of confusion.
- When cooking large joints or roasts, it is essential to note that the denser the meat is, the lower the point it will be cooked. The outer exterior of the meat will heat up to a temperature that is much higher than the meat inside, causing the outer layer to burn.
- Small cuts of meat are an easy way for people to sample various flavors. An excellent example of this is the use of chicken livers in pt.
- Cooking is an art. After a few, you are going to start noticing which foods are best to combine with others.
