MOCKTAILS TECHNIQUE


MAKING MOCKTAIL TECHNIQUE

TECHNIQUE


EXAMPLE PICTURE


SHAKING

·         When a drink contains eggs, fruit juices or cream, it is necessary to shake the ingredients.
·         Shaking is the method by which you use a cocktail or mocktails shaker to mix ingredients together and chill them simultaneously.
·         The object is to almost freeze the drink whilst breaking down and combining the ingredients.
·         Normally this is done with ice cubes three-quarters of the way full. When you've poured in the ingredients, hold the shaker in both hands, with one hand on top and one supporting the base, and give a short, sharp, snappy shake.
·         It's important not to rock your cocktail to sleep. When water has begun to condense on the surface of the shaker, the cocktail should be sufficiently chilled and ready to be strained.











STIRRING


·         You can stir mocktails effectively with a metal or glass rod in a mixing glass.
·         If ice is to be used, use ice cubes to prevent dilution, and strain the contents into a glass when the surface of the mixing glass begins to collect condensation.





BLENDING


·         An electric blender is needed for recipes containing fruit or other ingredients which do not break down by shaking.
·         Blending is an appropriate way of combining these ingredients with others, creating a smooth ready to serve mixture.
·         Some recipes will call for ice to be placed in the blender, in which case you would use a suitable amount of crushed ice.








LAYERING

·         To layer or float an ingredient
(ie. cream, liqueurs) on top of another, use the rounded or back part of a spoon and rest it against the inside of a glass.
·         Slowly pour down the spoon and into the glass.
·         The ingredient should run down the inside of the glass and remain seperated from the ingredient below it.
·         Learning the approximate weight of certain liqueurs and such will allow you to complete this technique more successfully, as lighter ingredients can then be layered on top of heavier ones.

CHINESE THEME TABLE D'HOTE AND MENU CARD

Chinese Theme Table D'hote



Sample Chinese Table D'hote

Introduction :


Customs and etiquette in Chinese dining are the traditional behaviors observed while eating in Greater China. Traditional Han customs have spread throughout East Asia, but sometimes evolved differently – especially following the Communist revolution that produced the PRC. Even within Mainland China, there are many customs and protocols involved in formal dining, applying to almost all aspects of the experience, from guest seating to paying the bill.



Chinese Theme Attire For Fine Dining

Chinese attire :

The China House adheres to a smart dress code for all guests, including children. Ladies are kindly asked to wear elegant attire and proper footwear. Gentlemen are kindly asked to wear smart shirt, long trousers and closed shoes. 




This is our sample of menu card for chinese table d'hote.



Chinese Cuisine :
Chinese cuisine includes styles originating from the diverse regions of China, as well as from Chinese people in other parts of the world. The history of Chinese cuisine in China stretches back for thousands of years and has changed from period to period and in each region according to climate, imperial fashions, and local preferences. Over time, techniques and ingredients from the cuisines of other cultures were integrated into the cuisine of the Chinese people due both to imperial expansion and from the trade with nearby regions in pre-modern times, and from Europe and the New World in the modern period.
Styles and tastes also varied by class, region, and ethnic background. This led to an unparalleled range of ingredients, techniques, dishes and eating styles in what could be called Chinese food, leading Chinese to pride themselves on eating a wide variety of foods while remaining true to the spirit and traditions of Chinese food culture.
The Eight Culinary Cuisines of ChinaProminent styles of Chinese cuisine outside China include Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. But there is Chinese cuisine wherever Chinese people are found. The staple foods of Chinese cooking include rice, noodles, vegetables, and sauces and seasonings.




While this is the table setting applied for that day.


Tips For Setting A Chinese Table Dining :

1. The Asian-inspired table setting above by Social Couture is one of my favorites. I like the simplicity of the white plates, the silver chargers, the bamboo table runners used as placemats, and then - bam! - the bright orange paper fans. They provide so much visual interest that little else is needed to create a great looking table.
2. A dinner party can be a great time to show off your collection of blue and white porcelain. Used ginger jars as the starting point for the beautiful blue and white themed.Instead of one big centerpiece, notice how she used multiple containers and kept them low.
3. Fan-shaped plates bowls and red flatware in the black, red and white Asian-inspired. The centerpiece is especially creative – dried hydrangea spray painted black, placed inside a red satin Chinese takeout box with chopsticks!
4. Placing a square gold charger diagonally over the black plate adds drama and dimension to the Asian-inspired place setting.
As you’ve seen, there are about as many different ways to set an Asian-inspired table as there are occasions to do it for. And the nice thing is, you really can get the look just by adding a few accessories to dinnerware, flatware or table linens you already have. No need to splurge on everything new - unless, of course, you want to!





Thank you for viewing ! :D

FILLET FISH ,WIPING TECHNIQUE & SALAD TOSSING.

fish fillet, from the French word  meaning a thread or strip, is the flesh of a fish which has been cut or sliced away from the bone by cutting lengthwise along one side of the fish parallel to the backbone. In preparation for filleting, any scales on the fish should be removed. 

The contents of the stomach also need careful detaching from the fillet. Because fish fillets do not contain the larger bones running along the vertebrate, they are often said to be "boneless". However, some species, such as the common carp, have smaller intramuscular bones called pins within the fillet. The skin present on one side may or may not be stripped from the fillet. 

Butterfly fillets can be produced by cutting the fillets on each side in such a way that they are held together by the flesh and skin of the belly.
