Fruit platter, like food carving, is a technology that needs formal study and training before it can be mastered.
First, material selection
Choose fruits from their color, shape, taste, nutritional value and appearance perfection. The selected fruits should be combined together, and the collocation should be 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.
Second, the idea
The purpose of making fruit platter is to make simple individual fruits artistically combine into a whole through shape, color and other aspects, and win by color and beauty, thus stimulating guests' senses and increasing their appetite. Although the fruit platter is not as complicated as the cold spell and food carving, it can't be handled casually. Before making it, we should fully consider the theme of the banquet and further name it.
Third, color matching
Most people regard fruit as after-dinner food, that is, people don't think of eating fruit until they are full of wine and food. At this time, most people don't have much appetite, which puts forward a difficult problem for us to design fruit platters: how can color, fragrance, taste, shape and container arouse people's appetite again? We can't change the color, fragrance and taste of fruit, and if we change it, we may lose its meaning. However, we can artistically match fruits of various colors into a whole according to our imagination, and arouse people's desire for food again through gorgeous colors. Generally, there are three kinds of fruit color collocation: contrasting color collocation, similar color collocation and multicolor collocation. Red with green, black with white is the standard contrast color collocation; Red, yellow and orange can be regarded as similar color combinations; Red, green, purple, black and white can be regarded as rich multi-color collocation.
Fourth, artistic modeling and vessel selection
According to the color and shape of the selected fruit, the shape of the whole plate is further determined. 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 disc to hold it. In addition, we should also consider the fruit lace decoration on the edge of the dish, which should also conform to the overall beauty 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 fruit bowls commonly used in bars are glass products, while the high-end ones are crystal products and gold and silver products.
V. Knife Skill
After selecting fruits, shapes and utensils, you can make them yourself. When operating, you should pay attention to the principle of simple and easy to make and convenient to produce.
