For clarity, we will attach a photo so that it is clearer to you how to beautifully decorate a plate at home and give it a restaurant look, elegant and attractive.

Ordinary cold cuts can be served in such a way that you want to stand and admire the culinary masterpiece. If you just cut the fish and serve it on the table, it will not be festive and everyday at all, but if you show a little imagination, decorate it with a lemon, add greenery, then a simple meal turns into a festive dish.

How to decorate a fish dish

Serving herring on the table, you can supplement the dish with boiled shrimp, add greens and lemon slices. For example, as in this photo, the product layout process is as follows: (herring and shrimp)

2 herrings
400 g shrimp
Purple lettuce leaves and some regular green
8 eggs
Black caviar, if available, you can do without it

As you can see, there are a lot of products, but you can reduce them, it all depends on how many guests will be present at the festive table. Put lettuce green leaves in the center on a dish, and curly purple ones around the edges. You should always start forming a dish from the center. Put the chopped herring, place a peeled shrimp with a tail between each piece on top.

The next circle will be halves of eggs. If there is caviar, place half a teaspoon on each egg. And now you need to lay out two circles of shrimp, placing them tightly one next to the other, back up and tails facing the boiled eggs. Lettuce leaves must be visible. It turned out a very beautiful dish, look carefully at the photo and everything will immediately become clear to you.

The festive decoration of dishes with photos that you will find on this page will help you arrange and decorate salads, you will learn how to serve fruits beautifully, how to serve cooked dishes for a children's party, how to decorate them so that children are interested and have fun.

A beautiful serving of dishes does not require special knowledge, it is not necessary to be a professional to surprise guests with beautifully decorated dishes. A little effort and desire to surprise guests, that's all. Here, for example, is how you can simply and beautifully serve tomatoes with soft cheese on the table:

we begin to spread the products from a small circle, alternating slices of tomato and mugs of cheese. Then we lay out a larger circle, the third, and finally a circle of cherry tomatoes. In the center of the dish, place a rose cut from a tomato, it is not difficult to make it at all, decorate with fresh basil leaves. That's all. How beautiful and appetizing the most ordinary tomatoes look.

Decoration of children's dishes

All mothers prepare the most delicious for kids on their birthday, dishes for a children's holiday should be not only tasty, but also beautiful. The food itself is not very attractive to children, but if it is served bright, colorful, with children's characters, then the children will certainly sit and feast on the table.

An excellent decoration of children's dishes can be a "fruit palm" of fruits, because we all know that many children find it difficult to get them to eat. But, in this way, sliced \u200b\u200band served fruits will certainly attract the attention of the kids. They will gladly absorb the "trunk" or "crown" of a palm tree.

Fruit slicing can be done like this:

cut two bananas into small pieces, cut off the spouts and bending one slightly to the left and the other to the right to create the appearance of a palm tree trunk.
Instead of sand, peel a couple of tangerines and lay the slices under the trees.
Peel and cut the kiwi, put it on top, they will replace the green crown of palm trees for us. What a beauty turned out, the kids will be delighted.

And this is how you can decorate fish under a fur coat for a children's holiday.

The salad is laid out in the shape of a fish and decorated as follows:

in the first photo, carrots and beets are used for decoration, which play the role of scales. Cut and make a tail from beets, whole olives will be eyes, and cut into strips - cilia. That's all.

In the second version, instead of scales, cut a pickled cucumber and lay it out, placing one piece on top of another, make a fish tail and fins from dill. Not a salad, but just a picture.

Cucumber and tomato salad decoration

The simplest salad can be turned into a chic dish if you skillfully decorate it. Many housewives who prepare great treats do not want to decorate dishes, citing inability. Believe me, there is nothing complicated, a little imagination, desire and everything will work out. See the photo, and we will tell you in detail how to decorate the salad.

Option 1: tomato, cucumber, greens

You will need one large cucumber, one tomato, parsley leaves, that's probably all. Put sprigs or parsley leaves on any salad with mayonnaise. Thinly slice the cucumber into slightly oblong pieces. Cut the tomato into not very thin slices. Put the cucumber in the form of chamomile on one side, and the tomato on the other side. Put the edge of the tomato in the center of the cucumbers, and the edge of the cucumber to the tomatoes. Wonderful.

Option 2: "Bouquet of tulips"

Another beautiful dish of cucumbers and tomatoes, slow in execution.
To prepare it, you will need quite a few products, your imagination and a little time.

A bunch of green onions
With a dozen fresh tomato cream
60 g cottage cheese
2 cloves of garlic
2 fresh cucumbers
Spoonful of canned peas

On top of the tomatoes, make two shallow cuts - crosswise.
Mix the cottage cheese with crushed garlic, add salt and put a teaspoon into the cut on the tomatoes.
Cucumbers cut into thin oblong slices and put on the bottom of the dish, halfway.
Put a bunch of green onions with the white part down, tie it with one arrow, spread the greens over the entire oval dish on top.
Lay out the tomatoes, as if creating the appearance of tulips. Scatter casually a spoonful of peas.

A beautiful bouquet, it will even be a pity to eat it.

Option 3: tomatoes, olives, parsley

We will need a small tomato, a few sprigs of parsley and a couple of black olives. Let's make a "ladybug", this salad turns out to be very cute and can easily be served at a children's party. The little one will be delighted.
Cut a small tomato into two parts, cut off the upper part, make a small cut on the bottom. Looking at the photo, you will understand how to do it correctly.
Put parsley sprigs in different directions in the corners, make several punctures on the back of the tomato and stick in small pieces of chopped olives.
Use one-fourth of the olive as the head of an insect, and cut into small strips to replace the legs. That's all.

Beautiful dishes, their design with photos will help you turn the most ordinary salad into something very beautiful. For example, Olivier salad, the most common dish that everyone always prepares for any holiday table. But if you decorate it a little differently, you get a very attractive and festive salad.

How to decorate salad "Olivier"

Put the salad in a small slide in the center of the plate, fill the empty edges of the plate with finely chopped parsley.

Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into thin rings, put them around the lettuce hill, alternating colors and slightly overlapping one another.
Where the salad ends, put the chopped olives in a ring, put the chopped cucumber slices in the top ring.

Place a few olives on top of the salad. That's all, just a feast for the eyes.

PAPILOTS(fr. papillote - paper wrapper). Used in restaurant cuisine, paper tubes with various cutouts and scallops, with which they hide the ends of animal or bird bones protruding from the meat. Papillots also play the role of a handle by which you can hold the portion without getting your hands dirty on the fat, and make it easier to cut the portion into smaller pieces.
Papillottes first appeared in the 19th century in French restaurant cuisine, from where they quickly spread to many cuisines of the world, incl. and Russian restaurant cuisine. Papillots were especially widely used in Soviet restaurants and in communist Kremlin cuisine.

To decorate fried game, cutlets and chops with a bone, hams on the bone, paper curlers and rosettes are used.
For papillots, a sheet of paper is folded three times in length, then the edge of the paper is folded 1-1.25 cm wide and strips are cut evenly over the entire width of the paper with a sharp knife or scissors. The paper is cut into 4 strips, wrapped around a round stick, giving the appearance of a flower, and its ends are folded.
To make a rosette, paper 12:12 cm in size is folded into 4 layers (in half and again in half), cut obliquely and corrugated with a thin cloth. Then the sharp tip of the rosette is cut off, the rosette is unfolded and put on the hairpin and on the bone (see below).

"... I never wrote about how to cook fish in papillots. A papilot, dear stupid, in cooking is a twisted cut piece of paper, which is usually put on the bones of cutlets or fried poultry. Well, except that Giedrius managed to cook catfish in a papilot his lady, which was twisted into her hair."
(an excerpt from Lithuanian literature of the 20th century).

The scheme for making a simple papillot:

1. Paper should not be very thin - printer paper is best.
2. Take thick white paper and cut out a strip about 8 cm long and 4 cm wide.
3. Fold the strip along its middle along.
4. Cut the folded paper along the fold with scissors into uniform notches - you get something like a fringe.
5. Wrap a round stick in a spiral with cut paper, the diameter of which matches the diameter of the bone.
6. Glue the end of the paper strip with edible glue made from brewed starch or flour, or gelatin, or attach with tape.
NOTE. Although recently, for simplicity, papillots are often glued with adhesive tape, it must be admitted that adhesive tape does not agree well with edible products, therefore food glue made from flour or starch, or gelatin is always more preferable.
7. Trim the bottom of the cuff with scissors.
Use ready-made papillots to decorate the bird.

Wash raw eggs thoroughly, cut off the tops, pour out the contents and use for various dishes.
Rinse the empty eggshell, boil for 2-3 minutes in boiling water and dry.
Then lubricate the inside with vegetable oil (there should be no excess oil).
Pour the prepared cooling jelly, then pour and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes so that the layer on the inner surface of the shell is sufficiently frozen. This will prevent the appearance of laid products on the surface itself. To make the outer layer even thicker, you can repeat the rinsing with the jelly solution.
Then carefully put various products into the eggs, pour over the jelly and put in the refrigerator to harden.
When it hardens, peel the shell and serve.
If the shell sticks to the jelly, rinse briefly - 2-3 seconds - with hot water before cleaning.
Note. To simplify and speed up cooking, you can not pre-rinse the shell with a solution of jelly, but immediately lay food and pour jelly.
