Food Styling for Photographers

MAKING A SALAD FOR THE CAMERA

6 cups of cool water and the recommended amount of

Fruit Fresh Produce Protector in a bowl. I prefer using

separate bowls for each type of fruit. When you start

peeling and cutting the fruit, you will want to work safely

but quickly. First remove any unwanted peel from the

fruit. Give the peeled fruit a quick dip in the water bath.

Th en cut the fruit into desired shapes and immediately

immerse the pieces in the water bath again. Lay the

individual cut pieces on a plastic tray and lightly cover

the tray with plastic wrap. Th is method will give you

quick visuals of all the fruit when building the hero salad.

When all the fruits for your salad are cut, start to build

the hero fruit salad.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE Because of the fragile nature of most

fruits, especially after being peeled and cut, you will need to handle

the fruit very tenderly. To remove fruit pieces from the water bath I

usually use my hands with fi ngers held slightly apart for drainage

rather than a kitchen implement that might bruise the fruit.
