Plating

[Sol Damiani]

That is a really interesting question @jonathan-bunting-williams !

I’ll bring to this thread some creative members of our team and Scoolinars to see if they can help us out with this: @sussan_scoolinaryteam @emilyscoolinarycom @abigailscoolinary-com @mandie-lowe @orsolya-csernak @kevin-smith @olallac-cgmail-com

Hi Jonathan, first one that comes to mind is microgreens or herbs. An easy to find if it suits the dish might be something like chilli sliced diagonally or sweet red peppers. Seeds and crushed pistachios may be suitable for some dishes and even just a puree might work with nothing else. I am only just learning myself and the three plating courses have some good information.

[Jonathan Bunting-Williams]

Yeah I’m currently doing one of the plating courses and it’s been really helpful.

Hi @jonathan-bunting-williams

As an alternative decoration you can use chocolate filigrees, filigrees made with tulip dough. You can even make small chocolate or fondant flowers, let them dry, and then use them to decorate your plate. Tulip dough filigrees are used to decorate desserts and savory dishes.

You can also use leaf sprouts or any sauce.

Greetings.

Hi! You can always try to use some thin long cuts of green onions, or carrots for example in ice water and will curve very nicely.

Also you can make easy tuile mix with 90gr flour, 110ml water and food colorant and straight to the pan with a bit oil

Also you can make cheese sheets with Parmesan and flour 100/100gr. each and bake it in sheet pan at not too high temperature til cheese melts and gets a nice color.

Hope this helps!

Thank you.

Hey! I was at home trying few different things and came up with this, are the stems of chard, just cut it and put in ice water and I think looks pretty nice, a bit bitter to taste but nice

[Sol Damiani]

They are BEATIFUL Olalla!

I love plating and play with colours on the plate however, I think that sometimes you don’t need to overdecorate because the dish with its components is the decoration itself.

Let me show you some of my plates for inspiration 🙂🙂
