Simple techniques to elevate your service
When presenting sauced dishes, plate the composed, firmer elements first and bring the sauce to the table in a separate vessel. Finish the plate tableside by pouring the sauce in front of your guests. An elegant flourish that enhances aroma, texture and theatre. This approach is especially effective with dishes such as bouillabaisse or carpaccio, where the clean presentation of solids paired with a final, glossy pour transforms the dining moment.
