Which items are typically garnished?

Beverages Desserts Main courses Individual dishes, large service platters and pans

Correct Answer:

Individual dishes, large service platters and pans

Explanation:

Garnish is the finishing touch added to a dish to improve its appearance and often its aroma, sometimes its flavor as well. The most common targets are items that are presented to guests in a plated form or carried to the table for service. That means individual plated dishes get garnishes to make each plate look appealing and complete. It also makes sense on large service platters used for family-style or banquet service, where the overall presentation needs to be attractive across the whole platter. Even though beverages and desserts can be garnished, the typical professional emphasis for garnish is on plated portions and large serving vessels, which is why those categories are described as typically garnished.
