FOOD PREPARATION & PRESENTATION
PREPARATION
Careful preparation pays off in an appetizing, healthy and tasty meal(s).
Always remove excess fat. Clean and trim vegetables and garnishes, removing all
bruises and blemishes. Use only the freshest meats and vegetables.
Always ensure that all items of the meal are cooked at the right time. This usually
requires different starting times that must be planned ahead.
PRESENTATION
Try a few of these interesting ways to perk up your table and make any meal a
festive occasion:
• Slice a freshly baked loaf of bread or dinner rolls into a basket lined with
colorful napkins. Serve with butter or margarine, softened and mixed with
grated cheese, garlic salt or your favorite seasoning.
• Main course meats are more attractive when displayed on a large platter
surrounded by fresh parsley sprigs, carrot curls (made with a potato peeler)
and radish roses.
• Serve sauces in a pretty piece of china or glassware. Drop in a ladle and bring
to the table on a plate for easier passing between guests.
• Flowers on the table are always effective, but in a pinch use a grouping of your
favorite figurines or house plants.
• Candles make dinners cozy, so turn down the lights and turn up the charm.
Float small, flat candles in a large, clear bowl filled with water. The effect is
magical.
