bookloverfio) hit upon the absolutely perfect gift for Delia (ooh_pretty_mine) this Christmas: a garnish kit. It neatly combines her interest in things artistic with cooking. Even better, it included an instructional DVD. Delia loves instructional DVDs. She watches them over and over. She begged Rob to take her to the grocery, where she bought vegetables to torture, as she put it. Late last night she was practicing cutting potatoes into rose shapes, dying the edges pink with the edge of a cut beet.
I should try to find a course for her somewhere that she can learn more about making garnishes. Too bad we're the only ones she has to practice on. Particularly when I'm the only one that'll probably eat what she creates.
