Table Laying And Setting
Muhtasari
Walk into a good hotel restaurant in Lagos and glance at a table before the guests sit down. Every fork, knife, spoon and glass is already in its exact place, spaced evenly, blades turned the same way. None of that is accident. It is a trained skill called laying the cover, and a waiter who gets it wrong tells every diner, before a single dish arrives, that the kitchen behind is careless too.
This lesson teaches you what a cover is, how the a la carte cover differs from the table d'hote cover, the order in which a table is laid, and the simple rules that decide where each item goes. By the end you will be able to lay a correct cover for any menu you are given, which is exactly what the practical examiner will ask you to do.
