Even the most ordinary dish - be it salad, appetizer, hot or dessert - you can give a truly festive look. It is enough to include imagination and come up with an original design for the cooked treat. Of course, the dish can be decorated with artificial decorations, but what can be more attractive, for example, an edible flower, animal or a simple inscription?

Instruction manual
1
Any dish - from light snacks to fragrant hot or even jellied meat - can be decorated in exactly the same way. Here you will not need confectionery shavings or decorative edible beads; it is enough to decorate the dish from what is in the refrigerator. As a rule, after cooking the same salads, a lot of surplus remains. Try on the surface of a dish well-oiled with mayonnaise, lay out a pattern of peas or corn. As an option - put a smiley face out of corn, olives can be used for eyes and mouth.

The dish you have prepared can be “freshened” by sprinkling it with herbs, which will also add a mouth-watering aroma. If the dish is fish, try cutting fish out of the salmon fillet; alternatively, twist the salmon slices into "buds". Such a "bud" can be fastened with a toothpick. From dill or parsley, you can make a green meadow. By the way, if the idea of the meadow is attractive to you, you can arrange it with mushrooms. An effective glade will look if you use mushrooms that are pickled in its original form, that is, without cutting. Do not forget that each ingredient that you choose to decorate the dish should be combined with the main treat. Your digestive system will hardly be delighted with the combination of mushrooms and fish. By the way, the similarity of flower buds can be made from different types of meat and sausage cuts.

If you like different sauces - ketchup, mayonnaise or mustard, try decorating the edges of the dish (if it’s meat, naturally) with them. Squeeze a multi-colored pattern from existing sauces - the dish will sparkle with new colors. Just do not overdo it: any sauce should be used in moderation.

Please note that from any solid vegetable - carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes - you can cut various shapes, including three-dimensional ones. The task will be simplified if you purchase a special knife for cutting such jewelry. Although, a similar result can be achieved using an ordinary kitchen knife. There are special graters with different nozzles just to create edible jewelry. When using such a grater, however, the figures will be devoid of volume.
