Bread Bouquet - Recipe like no other!

I am going to try to do the most unimaginable thing on a food site and hope that you, my fellow bloggers and visitors will let me get away with it!!!

How about posting a NON-EDIBLE item on a food site – well, that is exactly what I have in mind today. Like they say on the Food TV, cooking the best dish is only half the work, it is how you present the table and the dish that catches the guests attention. So here is how today’s post goes – ask your guest to wait; go to your nearest café; buy the most beautiful five/ten grain bread on display; stop feeding your guests; instead display the breads and let their mouths water watching the display!!!

I had watched Café’s like Atlanta Bread and Panera display their breads in such a wonderful fashion that I always thought bread display was like floral display – the manager would throw out the display breads every other day and create a new display – wouldn’t it grow molds otherwise!!! It took some help and some experimentation to realize that not all people are as foolish as me!!!

Seriously – this is so simple that by the time I am finished, you will want to make one of your own.

So here we go…

Buy some bread of your choice... u need one more thing to make it…a hair spray. Buy it from Wal-Mart or dollar store…get the cheapest one. Take the bread and spray the entire surface. Let it dry for a day. Do not keep it in direct sunlight as it causes the color to fade. The next day spray it again. Continue this process for 4 days and the fifth day your bread will be ready for display. Let your creativity roll and arrange the breads in a basket to form ur display.

This is a free tip but I require that u send me a picture of your display – please…

Sorry, Jayshree...er...Maneka. :)
I do this often, you know. I open about five blogs at a time, and then write the wrong name in the comments. I have done it so often with Shilpa of Aayi's Recipes that she herself remembers her name with difficulty now. ;-)
