The place I am working at is kind of antiquated , and there is a local chef that had helped the kitchen before I arrived - one of the things he introduced was what we call a "beet star" where they make straight incisions into a raw beet, then slanted incisions , then slice thin and you get what resembles a circular saw. We then take that, stab a piece of rosemary in the middle and sit on the plate. It is grotesque , BUT the owner loves it, and yes, I am cooking for the owner.
I have looked at some books about fruit and veggy carving, which is quite fascinating, and something I have never really done until now. Problem is, its a bit time consuming. The beet stars take me about a half hour for a super busy night of service, so that is doable. But anything in the books I have gotten is more for catering, which is great, but I am still looking for a different idea for dinner service.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated
