ABSTRACT
GARNISHING GUIDELINES
Making beautiful garnishes begins with having the right tools for the job. A sharp knife, peeler, zester, etc., will make achieving a beautiful garnish a lot easier. The second crucial element is having fresh produce or herbs to create the garnish. As always when working with food for photography, it’s vital to shop wisely. Shop for the very best example of each item you need and purchase several examples of each item for insurance. If you asked me to name a third element necessary for making beautiful garnishes for photography, it would be ice. Many garnishes are kept fresh, trained into shape, and freshened with a visit in or brushing with ice water.
