Lesson 1 key ideas: plating and presenting appetizers

The module defines food plating as arranging and decorating food to make it look better.

Fundamentals of plating

  • Balance of color, shapes, texture, and flavors. Two or more colors on a plate are usually more interesting than one. Cutting vegetables into different shapes adds variety.
  • Portion size. Match portions to the plate. A plate that is too small looks crowded and messy. A plate that is too large makes portions look skimpy.
  • Arrangement on the plate.

Platter presentation and design

  • A platter can have a centerpiece (grosse piece), such as a whole pâté, a cold roast, or a molded salmon mousse.
  • Arrange the slices artistically. Keep garnishes in proportion to the slices.
  • Arrange the food so one portion can be taken without ruining the design.
  • Keep the design simple. Once a piece of food touches the tray, do not remove it.
  • Plan ahead by sketching the tray in six or eight sections.
  • Give the design movement and a focal point. Make every garnish count.
  • Do not drown the plate in sauce.
  • Show the best side of each slice to the guest.

Presenting appetizers attractively

  • Use toothpicks or small plastic skewers to hold small pieces together.
  • Appetizers should be small and savory rather than sweet.
  • Serve four to six pieces per person, and plan for the maximum number of guests.
  • Prepare and cook as much as you can in advance.
  • Set cold appetizers before serving. Bring out hot appetizers while they are still moist.

Accompaniments

An accompaniment is something served with food to make it better or more appealing.

AccompanimentExamplesUsed with
Saucehot sauce, barbecue sauce, hollandaise, cold sauceoyster or clam cocktail, barbecue, meatballs
Vegetables and fruitslettuce, green lemon, celery, radishfruit cocktail, vegetable pickle, salads
Garnishchopped chives, parsley, grated cheese, olive oil, lemon sliceall dishes
Dressing (vinegar- or mayonnaise-based)Caesar, thousand island, vinaigrette, FrenchFrench fries, coleslaw, canapé, fried calamares, cheese sticks

Sanitary practices in presenting

  • Wash your hands with soap and water before handling food.
  • Use plates and utensils that are clean, sanitized, dry, and free of fingerprints.
  • Use paper towels to clean up.
  • Keep hand contact with food to a minimum.
  • Stay away from food when you are ill.
  • Use only edible garnishes.

Lesson 2 key ideas: storing and trimming appetizers

  • Fridge rules. Store raw products below cooked or ready-to-eat products, never above them. Keep food at 4°C (39°F) or colder.
  • Storing techniques:
    • Refrigerate: keep food cold or cool.
    • Cold storage: preserve food by refrigeration.
    • Chilling: lower the temperature of food.
  • Sanitary practices when storing:
    • Handle food properly to prevent spoilage and contamination.
    • Wash utensils and equipment thoroughly.
    • Limit hand contact with food.
    • Stay away from food when ill.
    • Store ingredients properly.
    • Protect food while it is served.
  • Homemade appetizers. Vacuum-sealed dips and spreads can stay in the fridge overnight. Homemade toast or chips can be made days before guests arrive.
  • Basic knife cuts include:
    • chopping
    • chiffonade (shredding)
    • dicing (cubes)
    • diamond (lozenge)
    • mincing (very fine, for onions and garlic)
    • julienne and batonnet (long rectangular cuts)
    • paysanne (fermière)
    • rondelle (cylindrical)
    • bias (diagonal)
    • oblique or roll cuts
  • Quality trimming means removing unwanted parts of an ingredient so the product is good and presentable. Before trimming, prepare:
    • complete personal protective equipment
    • well-sanitized tools
    • a sharp knife
    • fresh produce free from bruises
    • fresh meat free from foul odor

Lesson 1: Cookery: Presenting a Range of Appetizers

Presenting appetizer attractively is essential to the success of the presentation of the dish. Plating or arranging and decorating food to enhance its presentation adds value to the dining experience.

Accompaniment in every dish on the other hand is one of the most important factors in serving a dish. Great choice of accompaniments is highly needed to fit the types of appetizer.

Safe handling of appetizers and accompaniments are needed while performing and presenting. Personal hygiene is the most essential practice that keeps us safety from harmful microorganisms which may affects our health. We must also keep the equipment clean and sanitized by following the rules and standards of cleanliness in the kitchen.

Refer your answers to the answer key. It’s a nice try! Let us learn more about the lesson.

What is It

Food Plating is the process of arranging and decorating food to enhance its presentation.

Fundamentals of Plating
  1. Balance
    A. Color. Two or more colors on a plate are usually more interesting than just one. Garnish is also important.
    B. Shapes. Plan for variety of shapes and forms. Cutting vegetables into different shapes gives you great flexibility.
    C. Texture. Not strictly visual consideration, but important in planning menu
    D. Flavors. One of the factors to consider when balancing colors, shape, and texture on the plate.
  2. Portion size. This is important for presentation as well as for costing.
    Match portion sizes and plates. Too small a plate makes an overcrowded, jumbled, messy appearance. Too large a plate makes the portions look skimpy.
    Balance the portion sizes of the various items on the plate. Apply logical balance of portions.
  3. Arrangement on the plate
Basic Principles of Platter Presentation
  1. Centerpiece or Grosse piece (gross pyess). This may be an uncut portion of the main food item, such as a pate or a cold roast, decorated and displayed whole. It may be a separate but related item, such as molded salmon mousse.
  2. The slices or serving portions should be arranged artistically.
  3. The garnish should be artistically done in proportion to the cut slices.
    • The food should be easy to handle and serve so that one portion can be removed without ruining the arrangement.
    • A simple design is best. Simple arrangement is easier to serve, more appetizing, and still attractive when half consumed by the guest.
    • Attractive platter presentation may be made on silver or other metals, on mirrors, chinaware, plastic ware, wood, or any other materials provided they are presentable and suitable for food.
    • Once a piece of food has touched the tray, do not remove it. Shiny silver or mirror trays are easily smudged, and you’ll have to wash the tray and start over again. Good pre-planning should be considered.
    • Think of the platter as part of the whole. It must be attractive and appropriate to the other presentation in the table.

Designing the platter
  1. Plan ahead.
    Make a sketch by dividing the tray into six or eight sections. This will help you lay out a balanced and symmetrical design. The sketch should indicate the centerpiece, slices of foods and garnishes.
  2. Get movement into your design.
    Good design makes your eyes move across the platter following the lines you have set up. It could be arranged in rows or lines.
  3. Give the design a focal point. Use centerpiece to emphasize and strengthen the design by giving it direction and height. Note that centerpiece is not always at the center.
  4. Keep items in proportion.
  5. Make the garnish count. Use garnish to balance out a plate by providing additional element. Two items on a plate often look unbalanced, but adding a garnish completes the picture. On the other hand do not add unnecessary garnishes.
  6. Don’t drown every plate in sauce or gravy. It may hide colors and shapes. You may cover a part of it or band of sauce across the center.
  7. Keep it simple. Simple is more attractive than complicated designs.
  8. Let the guests see the best side of everything. Angle overlapping slices and wedge-shaped pieces should be toward the customer and the best side of each slice is face up.

Presenting Appetizer Attractively
  1. Create appealing display
    • Use toothpicks and small plastic skewers to hold small complementary pieces of food together.
    • An appetizer needs to be contained inside small dishes.
    • Remember to decorate the platter as well.
    • Appetizer should not be too big or hearty and should be savory rather than sweet.
    • Organize it simply.
  2. Prepare the appetizer enough for the guests. The standard rule is to serve four to six pieces for each person.
    • Plan the total amount around the maximum number of guests.
  3. Cook in advance. For appetizers that need to be cooked or assembled, do as much of the actual preparation as early as possible.
  4. You need to know when to serve the appetizer. A cold and hot appetizer has its different ways on serving. Cold appetizer should be set before serving. Hot appetizers should be brought out once moist.

Accompaniment
  • is something added to or served with food or a meal to make it better or more appealing. It generally enhances flavor, food and sauces offered with specific main dishes by providing a balance and contrast to taste.

Sanitary Practices in Presenting Appetizer
  1. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling raw food.
  2. Plates, utensils and storage for food should be cleaned, sanitized, dried and free from finger prints.
  3. Food handler should observe good personal hygiene.
  4. Use paper towels to clean up during food presentation.
  5. Keep off hand to a minimum contact to ingredients and food.
