GARNISH- CHEF'S TIP
Play around with, nuts, berries, edible flowers,
chocolate discs or tuilles- imagination is the key! I
use clear transparency paper or a silicone sheet to
mould my chocolate. If you have neither the time
nor chef's hands ... store-bought wafers will also
suffice. I won't tell anyone if you don't.
Recipe supplied by Simbithi Country Club's Fig
Tree Restaurant executive chef, Daryn Bowers. The
Fig Tree has an extensive A La Carte menu, with
breakfast, lunch and dinner options.
