    Fresh herbs are almost always nice, but put them on the food, not just scatter them on the plate. Make sure that anything that you use as garnish is something that you can eat.

    Every garnish should be edible and contrasting colors, ideally an element that is part of the dish. It's going to change the whole flavor profile of the dish.
