Then choose all kinds of fruits, make use of the true colors of fruits, and make all kinds of fruit platters with vivid shapes and different shapes to attract appetite.
Fruit platter is a kind of "fruit craft" work that can relieve depression, stimulate appetite, beautify banquets, set off the atmosphere and enhance friendship. Fruit platter, like food carving, is a skill that needs formal study and training to master.
Select materials
Choose fruits from color, shape, taste, nutritional value and perfect appearance. The selected fruits should be combined and coordinated. The most important thing is that the fruit itself should be cooked, fresh and hygienic. At the same time, pay attention to the fruit that makes the platter should not be too ripe, otherwise it will affect the processing and placement.
consider
The purpose of making fruit platter is to combine simple individual fruits into a whole artistically through modeling, color and other aspects, so as to win by color, thus stimulating guests' senses and increasing their appetite. Although the fruit platter is not as complicated as cold current and food carving, it is not easy to fix it. Before making, we should fully consider the theme of the banquet and further name it.
Color matching
Most people regard fruit as after-dinner food, that is to say, people will think of eating fruit when they are full of wine and food. At this time, most people have left.

How big is the appetite, which puts forward a difficult problem for us to design the fruit platter: how to arouse people's appetite again in color, fragrance, taste, shape and container? We can't change the color, fragrance and taste of fruit, otherwise it may lose its meaning. However, according to our own imagination, we can artistically match fruits of various colors into a whole, and once again arouse people's desire for food through gorgeous colors. There are generally three kinds of fruit color matching: contrast color matching, similar color matching and multi-color matching. Red with green and black with white are standard contrasting colors; Red, yellow and orange can be regarded as similar TINT; Red, green, purple, black and white can be regarded as rich multi-color collocation.
Modeling and appliances

Further determine the shape of the whole plate according to the color and shape of the selected fruit. The shape of the whole plate of fruit should be assisted by utensils, and different shapes and specifications of utensils should be selected for different artistic shapes. If the fruit shape is long, you can't choose a disk to hold it. In addition, we should also consider the fruit lace decoration on the side of the dish, which should also conform to the overall aesthetic feeling and set off the main shape.
As for the choice of vessel texture, on the one hand, it can be determined according to the grade of the bar, on the other hand, it can be determined according to the price of the fruit bowl. The commonly used fruit bowls in bars are glass products, while the top-grade ones are crystal products and gold and silver products.
Cutting and slicing skills (cooking)
After selecting the fruits, shapes and utensils, you can make them yourself. When operating, we should pay attention to the principle of simplicity and convenience.

Some fruits will turn brown or red quickly after being peeled and exposed to the air, so soak them in lemonade quickly to protect the color.
2. Horizontal knife: the knife is suitable for the growth of raw materials perpendicular to the natural texture. You can cut it into pieces or pieces.
