Tomato Rose Garnish Video Transcript:
Today we are going to make a tomato rose; we are going to use it for a garnish with our chipotle chili deviled eggs. I am going to use a small paring knife to do this with. Let me start with a tomato, it’s a slicing tomato. You can start at the top or the bottom. You are going to start slicing as thin as possible, going around the tomato.
Kind of like peeling an apple but it’s a tomato, keeping it as thin as possible. Just going completely around the tomato. Be a little careful, this is a tedious process; you want to keep an eye on what you are doing.
You do this you can use the rest of the tomatoes for dicing or slicing or cooking with. In the summertime with homegrown tomatoes I really like to slice my tomatoes any way, or remove the skin. We have a good strip there so what we are going to do is start rolling it back up.
Making it into a nice rose shaped tomato. You can see it starts looking like a rose. We are going to put that in the middle of our deviled eggs. Position it around a little bit, you can put a couple of them in there if you’d like and there is our tomato rose.

Now we are going to demonstrate the granny paring knife. I like to use this knife to do some garnishes. Right now I am going to show you how to make some carrot flowers. Carrot flowers are made out of course made out of carrots. It is kind of a neat little trick to do and a kind of fun little garnish to do. Also it is a great way to get your kids to eat carrots.
We are going to use the peeler, to peel our carrot. Then what we are going to do is cut up on the carrot right about to here. You want to get a little bit thicker part of the carrot to do this. Your first one will be discarded. But you are going to start and make kind of a four sided triangular deal. You are going to pop that off. That is the beginning of the carrot flower.
Then we got the base, we are going to start doing that. Very thinly, we start right up here with your thumb on tip of the carrot, we’re going to run the granny paring slicing thin down to about a half inch to a quarter inch from your thumb. Rotate it around, same width, about quarter to a half inch from your thumb. Roll it again, same width about right to there. Finally your last cut, which comes down just like that, twist and you have a carrot flower.
Put them in ice water for about an hour before you are going to use them for garnish on your dinner plates. The ice water helps them expand out and pulled out more into a carrot, it will actually expand out. Making it really nice petals .
You just keep working all the way up your carrot. It is real good to use a thicker, larger size carrot on this if you get too thin carrots it gets real hard to work with. Ill do one more here, you get ten to twelve carrot flowers per carrot. There is carrot flowers using the granny paring knife.

How to Make a Radish Garnish Video Transcript:
I’m using the Granny Paring knife today. I’m going to be demonstrating how to make some neat little radish florets. Start with a radish, a good size radish, we are going to cut the ends off the radish, just like that. Then were going to go in on each side, we are going to have four sides, we are going to go in about a quarter of inch and slice down to about a quarter of an inch of the radish. Right at the end of the base. We are going to come around and get a part of that part you already cut, come down about a quarter of an inch. It’s starting to fan out. Do this on all four sides of the radish, so it looks like that. These are put into ice water so the ice water helps them to expand out and you get something like this.
