In classic cooking, garnish refers to one or more subsidiary ingredients appearing with the main ingredient in a dish and giving it special character. The apple, Calvados and cream added to pork or chicken normande is an example. A decoration, by contrast, is added when a dish is complete. However, the word garnish is sometimes used for decorations such as bunches of watercress or stuffed tomatoes.
