Napé Technique
Pouring or spooning sauce over a dish evenly to coat it lightly. Used as a finishing touch to add shine and flavor.
Spoon Dragging
Dipping a spoon in a sauce and dragging it across the plate to create a smeared look. Use for a modern, artistic touch.
Stacking Sauces
Layering different colored or flavored sauces on a plate for visual effect and complex flavor profiles. Use when multiple sauces are part of a dish.
Dotting
Using a small spoon or squeeze bottle to place small dots of sauce on a plate. Works well for emphasizing precision and adding a playful element.
Underliner
Spreading sauce on the plate before placing the main food component on top. Provides a foundation of flavor and color contrast.
Griddled or Sizzled
Applying sauce to a hot pan or griddle before plating to caramelize or sizzle it, adding both flavor and a visual element. Often used for hot appetizers or entrees.
Squeeze Bottle Drizzle
Using a squeeze bottle to create precise drizzles of sauce over a dish. Good for intricate designs and adding a touch of elegance.
Deconstructed Sauce
Presenting components of a sauce separately on a plate. Encourages interactive dining and a novel presentation style.
Glazing
Brushing a thin layer of sauce over food to give it a glossy, appetizing sheen. Commonly used in pastry but can be applied to savory dishes.
Rim Garnish
Applying sauce around the edge of the plate as a border. Enhances the aesthetic without interfering with the main flavors of the dish.
