To Garnish or Not to Garnish

To Garnish or Not to Garnish?

With the recent resurgence of culinary artistry including fruit and vegetable carving, chefs are left to ponder whether or not to upgrade their skills or surround themselves with the necessary talented staff.

Culinary artistry gives the food service professional a chance to accomplish several goals:

Immediate positive feedback
Future business marketing
Great knife skills training for the staff
An avenue to make you stand out from the rest of the crowd
Additional revenue streams

With the abundance of teachers, books, dvd’s, and online resources, culinarians have a variety of skill enhancement opportunities. The sheer joy of creating something eye appealing is something that cannot be measured !!

With the recent decision of the ACF to include fruit and vegetable carving as a competition category, this genre of art and skill will only continue to grow in popularity and stature.

So sit down, dust off your tools, grab some produce and start creating !!!
