PREPARE APPETIZERS
Canapé butters can be made ahead and spread on soft breads or crisp crouton bases
at the last minute.
They add flavor and color to the canapé base. Canapés should be sharp in flavor.
Often, contrasting flavors are used together on the same piece.
For contrast you may combine spreads with sweet-sour, salty-bland, and strong-mild
flavors, but avoid flavors that do not blend well. For example, do not mix fish with
fruit.
The following tasty butters add flavor to canapés.
They are made by blending ¼ cup creamed butter with each of the following combinations:
1. Chive butter: 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, dash
of salt, and dash of pepper
4. Lemon butter: ½ grated lemon rind, 1 tablespoon juice, dash of nutmeg, and dash
of salt
5. Meat spreads may also be used. These can be purchased or made at home.
Examples of these are liver spread, potted ham, and shrimp spread.
Topping : Garnish Lobster butter Shrimp, parsley Cream cheese Smoked salmon, chopped
onion, chopped parsley Mustard butter Sliced ham rolled around asparagus Pimiento butter
Smoked oysters, clams Butter Salami, slices of pickles, cheese Parsley butter Sardines,
mackerel, capers
CANAPÉ GARNISHES
Garnishes for canapés are neatly cut portions of pork, beef, fish and seafood, eggs, cheese,
olives, pimiento, and pickles which are used to provide visual appeal. These pieces should
harmonize with the size and shape of the canapé base.
Garnishes – an item or substances used as a decoration or embellishment accompanying a
prepared food dish or drink.
CROUTONS are buttered bread shapes baked in the oven until crisp and brown. Crisp pan de
sal halves make perfect croutons. The term also refers to small cubes of bread fried with
herbs and spices or baked for use as garnish for soups and salads.
FINGER FOOD
Finger food is food meant to be eaten directly using the hands, in contrast to food eaten with a knife
and fork, chopsticks, or other utensils. In some cultures, food is almost always eaten with the hands;
for example, Ethiopian cuisine is eaten by rolling various dishes up in injera bread. In the South
Asian subcontinent, food is traditionally always eaten with hands. Foods considered street foods are
frequently, though not exclusively, finger foods.
The Art of Presentation: Appetizers
Making delightful food is only part of cooking – you must also learn the art of presentation
while you master cooking trends. How your food looks on a plate or on a spread in a buffet
will get people intrigued. Dressing up appetizers is fun and with a few good tools and tricks,
you will be able to not only make great-tasting food – but you can also call yourself a food
stylist.
Ice bowls: If you are serving fruits or seafood bites as a precursor to the meal, use plastic
containers to put together ice bowls. Put some water in a plastic bowl and then refrigerate.
Small bites: Try to keep appetizers bite-sized, as they look nicer on plates and spreads. The
smaller the starters, the more room you will have to play with the decor and focus on dressing
up the rolls or plates.
Garnish: For cold appetizers, lay out beds of lettuce on the plate or tray and then place small
amounts of the starter on top. This can be done on a larger tray, so be sure to present the food
in a way that the piece of lettuce is shown.
Color is a big part of food decor, so you should try to provide starters in several colored
variations. Even with a cheese plate, alternate two types of cheeses in different colors on a
tray.
If you use a paintbrush to spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of appetizers such as egg
rolls or mini-sandwiches, you can then stick a small amount of basil or cilantro on the item.
The butter will cause the garnish to stick so your starter is colorful and dressed up. Spices can
also be sprinkled on top of plates and appetizers to add more flavor and color.
Intricate trays and dishes: One of the easiest ways to make your starters shine is to choose
plates, trays and bowls with pre-existing designs.
Right now, there may be an invisible enemy ready to strike. It is called BAC
(bacteria) that can make people sick. In fact, even though consumers cannot see BAC – or
smell or feel it – millions may already be invading food products, kitchen surfaces, knives,
and other utensils. But consumers have the power to fight BAC and to keep food safe from
harmful bacteria. It‘s as easy as following these four simple steps:
CLEAN: Wash hands and surfaces often
SEPARAT: Don‘t cross-contaminate
COOK: Cook to proper temperature
CHILL: Refrigerate promptly
