PROVIDE FOOD AND

BEVERAGE SERVICES TO
GUESTS
Food and Beverage presentation is someone’s first
impression of a meal. Aesthetics and elegance are
important to the eye, as it is through the sense of sight
that other senses can be stimulated. An attractive and
appealing appearance stimulates the desire to taste the
food. By the same token, an improper or unattractive
display can help to hide the magic and excitement that
could tempt the guest to try food that may be
excellently flavored.
 LESSON 1
GARNISHING AND ACCOMPANIMENTS
What is garnishing?
A garnish is an item or substance used as
a decoration or embellishment
accompanying a prepared food dish or
drink. In many cases, it may give added
or contrasting flavor
What is accompaniments?
 Accompaniments are complementary additions to
the main ingredient of a meal. Accompaniments are
typically things like vegetables and side salads but
they also include sauces and relishes. Sometimes
the accompaniment also comes with a garnish of its
own.

 2. PLACING YOUR INGREDIENTS
Here are a few of the most important aspects to consider as you build your dish:

a) Plate with a clock in mind.

b) Use moist ingredients as your base..
c) Serve odd amounts of food.
d) Place food to create flavor bites.
e) Don't overcrowd your plate.
 3. PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS
As you plate your dish, you'll also want to pay attention to the details :

a) Think about color and contrast.

b) Create height on your plate.
c) Use texture to enhance your dish
 4. DESIGN AND CREATE WITH SAUCES
Once you've plated your main ingredients, you're ready
to top your dish with delicious sauces. Don't just pour
the sauce carelessly all over the plate, though. Instead,
think of your squeeze bottle or spoon as a paintbrush,
and your sauce as a medium. Then, use them to
enhance your plate.
One way to do this is to create accent dots on one side
of your plate (while considering the rule of thirds) or
by lightly drizzling sauce over the main ingredients so
guests get a little bit of sauce in every bite.
 5. USE GARNISHES PURPOSEFULLY
In the past, chefs casually threw a piece of kale
and
an orange slice onto every plate as it left their
kitchen.
However, these garnishes didn't add anything
exciting to the dish, and few guests even ate them
in
the first place. Here are a few examples of smart
