This video takes just two minutes to watch but it has given me some great ideas for my next dinner party.
You don't get the recipes but what I am taking away is the idea itself and I always like to watch the way in which a dish is presented by a professional.
Some of these could take you next to no time to prepare and yet they can look sensational and impress your friends at your next dinner party.
For instance, the cubes of vanilla cheesecake garnished with summer fruits. Me - I'd cheat and buy the cheese cake and slice it into shape - then serve a long row and place a different type of berry atop each one - simple. The melon and sorbet looks great too. Again, you needn't make the sorbet yourself.
This video was too good and quick not to share because I am always after ideas to make an impression at my next dinner party.
Stay tuned for more dinner party ideas soon.
In the meantime, you may want to check out this book: Long awaited by professional chefs, this groundbreaking guide to food presentation will also delight and inspire culinary students and sophisticated home cooks. Acclaimed food writer and culinary producer Christopher Styler describes seven distinctive plating styles, from Minimalist to Naturalist to Dramatic, with several striking examples of every genre. Each plating suggestion is accompanied by clear instructions along with color photos of step-by-step techniques and finished plates. Complete with essays on plating from ten leading chefs and recipes for the dishes featured, this book is a work of art in itself--a must for the kitchen shelf.
