Mother Sauces

"mother sauce" refers to any one
of five basic sauces, which are the
starting points for making various
secondary sauces or "small
sauces." They're called mother
sauces

FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
A centerpiece is a classic flower arrangement
that everyone knows and loves. These
arrangements typically come in vases that are
four by four inches or even five by five inches.
Centerpieces are most commonly placed within
the center of a dining table
FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
A bar arrangement is a taller version of the
classic centerpiece arrangement and holds a
sense of elegance and glamour that will
draw guests to a new location.

Bud vases can be considered “miniature
arrangements.” Often times bud vases
accompany centerpieces or bar
arrangements by reflecting the same color
scheme, mood, or style.
FLOWER ARRANGEMENT
Long and low arrangements are just as the
name suggests! They’re typically found in
long, rectangular vases that are close to the
surface. Long and low arrangements can
appear more voluminous than a traditional
arrangement because they are spread out
over longer surfaces

1. COMPACT- The style of a
compact arrangement has a
classic, timeless feel. A compact
arrangement is one in which all of
the elements found in the
arrangement are at the same
length. They are often dome-
shaped, meaning that nothing is
poking out of the main “sphere” of
the arrangement.

2. LOOSE AND WILD- An
arrangement that is loose and
wild is one where flowers are
not arranged in a rigid, uniform
structure. Often, varying
elements of the arrangement
will be over-flowing from the
vase.

3. SINGLE FLOWER TYPE-
This kind of arrangement uses
only one flower variety for a
chic and cohesive look.
Occasionally you may include
hints of greenery to support the
structural integrity of the
arrangement, but generally,
this type of arrangement
features solely one flower type.

4. MINIMALIST - Minimalist
arrangements are
arrangements that utilize the
simple, strategic use of stems
to create intentional negative
space in a clean, modern way.
1.Proportion and scale-Proportion helps in
maintaining a uniform size of the bouquet. The size
of the flowers should be in proportion to the size of
the foliage and the container.
The proportion should also be appropriate with the
occasion and placement. Like the flower
arrangements for hotels, churches and weddings
are bigger than the arrangements for casual and
regular events, homes and offices.
2. Balance- This means that the height of the
arrangement should be at least one and a half times
more than the height of the container. Although the
height of the arrangement can be higher than this, it is
never lower.
3. Harmony- The material used for the flower
arrangement should complement each other. The
flowers, foliage, colour, container and all other
accessories should be of one theme and nothing
should seem out of place.
Bread and Butter-
Appetizer- if the appetizer is supposed
to be cold keep it cool, but if the
appetizer is supposed to be warm, you
should maintain the food warm until the
food is served.
Soup- most soup is served hot. You
should maintain the soup warm until the
soup is served.
Salad – serve the ingredients safe,
clean and fresh. Salad dressing
should be put on a separated dish.
