"Garnishing" by Francis Talyn Lynch is the ideal book for cooks who cater special events. It contains over 60 designs, using fruit and vegetables to create food sculptures for tables and platters, plus simple garnishes for everyday use. Additionally, "Garnishing" will teach you how to create chocolate flowers, leaves, bags and cups. Aspic and Chaud-Froid techniques are included too.
"Garnishing" contains many original designs to make your parties and receptions unique. You won’t find these attractive and entertaining designs in any other garnishing book: The Apple Turkey, Pineapple Christmas Tree, Zucchini & Chile Parrot, Eggplant Penguin, Pear Quail, Zucchini and Kiwifruit Skiing Elf, Daikon & Pineapple Palm Tree and the Pear-Ginger Reindeer. The list goes on. There are designs for every season and most holidays.

Each design begins with a list of ingredients, tools, special hints and advice on timing, technique, storage and final display. All designs are made with just 3 knives: a parer, a 6 inch utility and a chefs’ knife. Occasionally a zester, scorer or vegetable peeler come into play but the designs in this successful book do not rely on gadgets or special cutters -- just sharp knives.

Published in 1987, "Garnishing" has helped thousands of cooks successfully create appealing food presentations. "Garnishing" has become a text in many Garde Manger classes at top culinary schools. It is written for anyone who cooks, not just professionals. When first released, "Garnishing" was the Better Homes & Gardens Cook Book Club Editors’ Choice. Over 150,000 copies have sold worldwide. It is a proven valuable tool that every cook will be glad to have.
