possibly you remember the fairytale of the despicable duckling that turned into a beautiful affirm. Chef Devaux has cooked up a similarly delightful narrative that teaches you how to turn a complain apple into a beautiful and delightful swan !
Instructions:
Step 1: preparing the body
Reading: Apple Swan Garnish Tutorial
Place your apple on a cutting board and make a cut at an angle of about 70 degrees, going through the middle and ending up at the other side of the apple. To keep it bare, check the video and simply do what Chef Devaux does .
Put the bottom half with the flat side on the cutting board and space a chop stick on each side. The chop sticks will help you prevent cutting all the way through in the adjacent step .
Step 2: preparing the first wing
Make the second cut a short bite off center. Cut until your knife reaches the chop sticks. then make a cut across the apple by aligning your knife with the chop sticks. Cut until one separate of the apple comes at large .
Take the loose separate and make the lapp kind of cut. Start 1 curium ( 0.4 inch ) from the border, cut down until you reach the chopsticks. Turn the apple on its side and again cut 1 curium from the edge. A new rectangular part comes loose, which will fit perfectly on the larger share .
duplicate this with the remaining loose part : cut until you reach the chopsticks, turn the apple separate on its side and baseball swing until a depart comes idle. Place the rectangular part on the big part of the apple and repeat the cut with the remaining easy separate .
repeat this procedure until the parts are excessively belittled to cut .
Step 3: preparing the second wing
In gradation 2 you made cuts on one side of the one-half apple. now do the same on the other side. Put every easy depart back on the apple. As a consequence, you ’ ll still have a half apple, except it ’ sulfur cut in all the justly places .
Step 4: creating the swan wings

cautiously slide out the loose parts of the apple. The higher the part, the more you need to slide it out. Watch the video to see how this is done. Do this with both sides of the half apple. Each english will turn into a wing merely by sliding it out !
Step 5: making room for the swan head
Make a cut slenderly from the left slope of the middle. Make a second cut slightly from the right side of the in-between. possibly you ’ ll have to do some excess switch off to be able to cut this depart loose. The slot hatchway that you ’ ve created this way is meant to connect the affirm neck .
Step 6: creating the swan head
Take the full-length half of the apple and cut off a slice of 0.5 centimeter ( 0.2 edge ) thick. This separate needs to have a curve in it. You can do this by beginning cutting off a dilute slice at a slender lean. then cut off a second slice. Again, watch the video recording to see how this is done. Remove the stalk and cut the slice in half .
now you need to shape one half into the steer of the swan. Four cuts should do the antic. The first two cuts shape the read/write head and neck, the other two cuts are to make the neck suit into the slot opening you ’ ve created in step 5. Watch the video to see precisely which cuts you have to make. When done, slide the head into the open. The roll is about complete !
Step 7: adding eyes
Take an apple seed and push it against one side of the swan head. That ’ south one eye ! Take another apple seed and push it against the other side. That ’ s the second eye. Congratulations. You have successfully turned an apple into a swan !
I am broadly interested in how human activities influence the ability of wildlife to persist in the modified environments that we create.
Specifically, my research investigates how the configuration and composition of landscapes influence the movement and population dynamics of forest birds. Both natural and human-derived fragmenting of habitat can influence where birds settle, how they access the resources they need to survive and reproduce, and these factors in turn affect population demographics. Most recently, I have been studying the ability of individuals to move through and utilize forested areas which have been modified through timber harvest as they seek out resources for the breeding and postfledging phases. As well I am working in collaboration with Parks Canada scientists to examine in the influence of high density moose populations on forest bird communities in Gros Morne National Park. Many of my projects are conducted in collaboration or consultation with representatives of industry and government agencies, seeking to improve the management and sustainability of natural resource extraction.
