Garnish and decorate your plates with heart-shaped cherry tomatoes

As you should have known for a long time – the presentation makes everything different. Even without the arrow end, this simple idea is a fun way to add even more attention to your loved one. It’s very easy to do – cut the cherry tomatoes diagonally at a 45-degree angle and pin two pieces together tightly with a toothpick. In just a few minutes you will have a whole series of little red hearts!

Garnish and decorate the main course with onion flowers

The beautiful color of the red onion inspires other creations outside of the pot or pan. The onion must be cleaned and peeled as usual. Then cut them into eighths, but not all the way through. Be careful to keep the bottom whole. When baked, the onion tastes particularly good and sweet. Just be careful not to burn the soil.

The next pictures show some easily made ideas suitable for decorating plates, starters, salads and main dishes.

Make a strawberry rose with us step by step! 

First, find some fresh, good-looking, elongated strawberries. Make small, not very deep incisions just above the front of the fruit. A little further up you design the next row, whereby the incisions are made offset to the previous ones. If there is still room for a third row, you can add another.

Sugar spiral recipe:

1 teacup of sugar

1/4 tea cup of cold water

1/4 teaspoon lemon juice

Put all ingredients in a medium bowl and heat until the sugar melts and is completely dissolved. Stir well and take the pot off the hob from time to time to avoid burning. Wait until the mixture becomes liquid and has a typical yellowish color, then the sugar is already caramelized. Take the pot off the hob. Use a wooden spoon, fork or tablespoon to pull long threads out of the pot and quickly wrap them around the handle of the wooden spoon. The caramel solidifies immediately and is ready to be decorated. This way you can make other shapes out of caramel on a sheet of parchment paper.
