Garnishing for the Beginner
All it takes to create grand-hotel-and cruise-ship-quality  garnishes and to shape whimsical or beautiful food sculptures are the  proper tools and patient instruction. This kit provides both. It  consists of five stainless-steel garnishing tools and a 96-page,  hardcover book written by an expert chef, Harvey Rosen. The tools are a  corrugated cutter, a spiral slicer, a 2-1/4-inch paring knife, a food  decorator, and a twin curl-cutter. The function of each is shown at an  appropriate point in the book, which explains how to create specific  garnishes--like a lemon pig and cucumber stairs--with easy-to-follow,  step-by-step, black-and-white illustrations. As inducements for  practicing the techniques, the book also shows the spectacular results  of proper garnishing with 20 full-page color photographs.--Fred  Brack
