Today I show how to make a Leek Bow Garnish to decorate a dish. For the garnish you need a leek, green radish or Daikon radish and tools as a kitchen knife and a melom baller. This is 5 minute easy garnish you can make together with your kids.

Step 1. Cut a leek along in halves and prepare the strips as shown in th picture.

Step 2. Fold leek strips in a shape of a bow. Add a new strip when the first strip get short.

Step 3. Cut a ball out of a radish with using a baller. Attach the bow and the ball through together with using a toothpick. Cut unwanted leek's ends.

Leek Bow Garnish is ready. I like the idea of ataching the leek decoration to the chicken. The leek garnish also looks nice in a vegetable snack bouquet.

Salad Garnishing

Delicious, healthy and my fav salad from "Nihon Mitai" sushi bar's menu. Here is a recipe of this famous salad garnished in my way.

For salad you need:
Daikon
Syabu-Syabu sauce
Parsley

For the camomile garnishes you need:
Daikon
Carrot
Carving tools.

How to do:
Cut (or grate) daikon in thin long noodles. Wash noodles in cold water to remove juice. Arrange daikon noodles on the plate, add Syabu-Syabu sauce and some parsley.

For the camomiles cut a thin slice from a daikon. Using a thai knife carve a camomile flower. To make a flower center cut a ball out of carrot with a bowl-shaped knife. Arrange the camomile garnish on the plate by the daikon salad.

Enjoy healthy food with garnishes in my way :)

How To Make An Edible Butterfly From A Radish

To make a butterfly you need a radish (Daikon or Green Radish) and a thai knife.

Step 1. Cut a slice from a green radish, but do not cut it off completely.

Step 2. Cut off a second thin slice next to it. They should be attached at the base. Cut them away without separating them. These are butterfly wings.

Step 3. Join wings together and cut a small piece off of the base. It should be enough to flatten that edge, but the wings need to remain attached to each other. If you cut off too much, they will separate.

Step 4. Make the antennae.

a. Trace the edge on the right side of the circle (when the base is at the bottom).

b. Remove a sliver next to the line you just cut.

c. The antennae are ready.

Step 5. Cut a wing shape as shown.

Step 6. Carve out a pattern onto the wings.

Step 7. Open the wings up. This is the end product. Enjoy!

I have been asked by a client to carve a special melon. The client requirements were the following:

1. It should be a melon for a 60 years old man anniversary.
2. Therefore it should have a solid 3D pattern without tiny elements.
3. Because the anniversary party is taking in a restaurant with half-lighting and the melon should be photogenic when guests are photographing it using a flash.
4. They don't like roses.

I've got the task along with a medium size melon. I've decided on this floral pattern built on a contrast. The picture of the special melon is taking in a flash mode. I am sure it will look great on a fruit plate together with grapes and cherry as it's supposed to be displayed.
