What great ideas,Saffron ! Did you see the poached salmon in the April issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine? Don't know how it tastes, but it looked absolutely GORGEOUS, with thin strips of cucumber (cut vertically) wrapped around it like a bow on a present. I have to say, though, your suggestion to create cucumber scales is even more intriguing to me, as are the daikon sea animal cut-outs.
How do you make the pepper triangles? I would imagine that you cut the pepper into quarters and then make triangles out of the quarters -- does this waste a lot of the pepper (they are so expensive, I like to use all that I can of them!). How large do you make the triangles?
Also, at the risk of sounding ignorant, what are gerbers?
Thanks again for your help!
