Short book from 1986 with around 100 step-by-step garnish techniques . I only tried about 4 or 5 of these garnishes, but I agree with another reviewer: they are a little dated and not great for modern cooking. Lots of work for little payoff. But a few that worked for me and I will probably make again: radish fans, vegetable ties, as well as the easy to follow crimped pastry technique.

these gatrnishes are too classic and traditional and i feel they make the plate look too busy. Looking for something more minimalist.

A nice collection of garnishes using various vegetables and such. Though I was a bit disappointed in some redundancy of ideas.
