Preface With the rapid development of the socio-economy, people's living standards have been improving day by day. As a result, people have higher expectations for the aesthetics of things. In the preparation of dishes, not only is meticulous craftsmanship emphasized, but there has also been a development in decorating and beautifying the rims of the serving vessels used for the dishes. This is what we commonly refer to as dish garnishes. Creative Dish Decoration and Garnishes is a book dedicated to enhancing the visual appeal of dishes through garnishes. Dish garnishes are not just independent plate decorations separate from the dish; they are used to enhance and adorn the entire dish, creating a complementary effect that elevates the overall presentation. The works in this book are the result of the author's 20+ years of culinary experience, gradually accumulated over time.
Through years of work, I have learned some techniques from predecessors, gathered relevant materials, and researched and created practical decoration and garnishing techniques and methods. I am willing to share them with my peers through this book.
The works in this book have the following characteristics:
① Simple and economical raw materials, high practicality. Most of the ingredients used in this book are fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, except for a few that are decorated with flowers. These ingredients are inexpensive, widely available, and easy to purchase, with a broad range of options. They can even be used as leftover materials to decorate and adorn dishes of various levels.
② Simple to make, lifelike in appearance, and vibrant in color. During the creation process, emphasis is placed on the natural color and shape of the raw materials. Using ordinary cutting, slicing, carving, piercing, stacking, and arranging techniques, various shapes are crafted. The methods are easy to learn.
During the writing of this book, I received great support from the leaders and chefs of the hotel where I work. I would like to express my sincere gratitude. I hope this book will be well-received and appreciated by readers. Due to my limited expertise, it is inevitable that there may be omissions and errors in the book. I sincerely ask for criticism and correction from readers, especially experts in the culinary field. Thank you very much!
