Garnish

Published 2008
Many if not most dessert presentations are improved with one or more items of garnish. But first take a moment to consider whether serving the dessert alone, without garnish, wouldn’t be effective. A simple, ungarnished plating is usually used for homestyle desserts or, at the opposite extreme, for elegant pastries or gâteaux that are beautiful on their own and need no added elements.
Although the term garnish may refer to a purely decorative item, such as a sprig of mint, it is usually best to plate only components that are intended to be eaten. Thus, we use the term to mean an edible item that complements the main item on the plate. Following are examples. The first two of these are the most versatile because they include the greatest variety of items and possible presentations.
