GARNISHING:

• Modern garnish is often a visual tool.

• Individual expression, flair and imagination are key ingredients. A visual signature.

• Marinades, spices and sauces can add a touch of individualism and provide a meal with 'upscale nouvelle', 'hearty down home', or an 'ethnic' flair. Keep in mind spices and herbs that go particularly well with lamb : Rosemary, mint, sage, garlic, shallots and thyme.

• Garnish does not need to be complex. Perhaps as simple as a perfectly placed piece of chervil or a drizzle of infused olive oil.
