Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 3 min.
Place the flattened disc of marzipan on a sheet of cooking parchment, and dust with icing sugar.
Stage 2
Then start to roll with a rolling pin as if rolling out pastry for a tart.
If the marzipan sticks to the rolling pin, dust with more icing sugar.
If the marzipan sticks to the rolling pin, dust with more icing sugar.
Stage 3
If you are using a large piece of marzipan, try cutting it in two and roll out half at a time; you'll find it much easier.
Stage 4
The best trick, as shown in the photo, is to put guides of the required thickness on either side (here 2 pieces of perspex 2mm thick). This ensures even rolling and you can be sure of having the right thickness.
Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.
Eventually you should have a fine "sheet" of marzipan, thin and as even as possible.
Unstick it from the paper, turn it over and put it back in place. This will help when you are cutting out.
Unstick it from the paper, turn it over and put it back in place. This will help when you are cutting out.
Stage 6
You can now cut anything you wish using a knife...
Stage 7 - ⌛ 5 min.
...or better still, cutters in various shapes.
Stage 8
To make leaves, for example, first cut a circle using a fluted cutter, then cut the circle in two.
Stage 9
Draw the veins of the leaf with the point of a knife.
Stage 10
You can also join pieces together easily...
Stage 11
... by overlapping them and pressing gently to stick them together.
Stage 12
A tip: move your creations with a palette-knife, or if not, with a fork, to avoid breaking them at the last minute.
Remarks
Marzipan decorations dry out quite quickly if you don't use them straight away. Wrap them in plastic film and keep in the fridge.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge, in a closed jar.

Bouquet garni
Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.
