Serving Fish in Fancy Arrangements

Smoked fish can presented and arranged in beautiful and unique ways. Very fancy arrangements can be prepared in advance of the meal and the dishes can be beautifully garnished. Bits of smoked fish can be placed on small toasts and topped with a sauce. Spreads and dips can be placed in cocktail and wine glasses and topped with fish roe. Pulp can be removed from tomatoes, cucumbers, baked potatoes, apples, and they can be filled with fish spreads. Citrus fruit like lemons, grapefruit or oranges can be halved, emptied, filled with fish spreads and garnished with dill or parsley. How far you want to go is limited only by your imagination and how much you want to impress your guests.

"Creative Sausage Making" is written for individuals who want to produce top-quality sausages and create their own professionally composed recipes. They won't need to follow recipes; they will be able to develop them at will. Reading this book will save readers hours, if not years, of time-consuming research and experimentation, and will improve their sausage-making skills. What makes this book different is that it not only covers the manufacturing of various types of sausages but also includes information on the latest innovations adopted by the food industry, such as natural gums, known as hydrocolloids, protein emulsions, and colorants, which are unfamiliar to most hobbyists.
