Serviettenapkin Folding Another Restaurant Favourite Recipes
SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, ANOTHER POCKET FOLD
Between the teachings of my grandmother, an aunt, my mother and several restaurants I learned a lot about serviette/ napkin folding.. Works well with cloth napkins, or larger paper ones. I have included step-by-step photographs to illustrate/supplement the written directions. I can't remember who taught me this one... it's nice to put placenames, small flowers, a small mint etc into.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette square out flat before you in a square shape.
- Take the bottom two corners and fold them 1/3 of the way up the serviette.The fold line should be at the bottom.
- Take the top two corners and fold them 1/3 down so that the top two corners are level with the fold line that you made in the previous step.You now have a rectangle in front of you.
- Place your finger in the centre top point of the rectangle and with the other hand take the top right hand corner of the rectangle and fold it to the center bottom of the rectangle, but continue past the bottom of the rectangle so that you have a vertical straight line running down the center and a small flap sticking out that the bottom. Repeat with the left side of the serviette.
- Then fold the bottom two flaps back on top of themselves so that they are level with the bottom of the rest of the serviette. You will have before you a thin rectangle shape on the bottom and a triangle on top of it and there will be a vertical gap in the center of both of them.
- Take the right hand end of the rectangle and fold it into the center, repeat with the left hand side of the rectangle but insert it into the opposite piece.
- This should form a small square pocket that has a triangular top.

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, ANOTHER RESTAURANT FAVOURITE.
Between the teachings of my Grandmother, an Aunt, my Mother and several restaurants I learned a lot about serviette/ napkin folding.. Works well with cloth napkins, or larger paper ones. I have included step-by-step photographs to illustrate/supplement the written directions. This one was taught to me by the staff of the Iron Horse restaurant in Christchurch New Zealand, the 1980's. The instructions look long but I wanted you to know how it should look at every step. It's REALLY NOT as hard as the long instructions imply. Practice once and you'll laugh at how easy it is.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette square out flat before you in the shape of the square.
- Fold the bottom left and right corners up to meet the top left and right corners so that you now have a rectangle shape with the crease at the bottom.
- Place your finger in the center of the top of the rectangle. With your other hand take the bottom left corner of the rectangle and bring that point up to your finger. You will have before you a triangle shape on the left hand side and a square on the right hand side.
- Place your finger on the bottom center point where the triangle meets the square, and with your other hand, take the top right corner and bring it to meet your finger. You will now have before you a shape that is somewhere between that of a diamond and a rectangle with a gap that runs diagonally from top left to bottom right.
- Carefully turn the serviette over.
- Take the bottom left and right edge and fold it upwards to meet the top edge. There will be a triangular flap hanging down on the left hand side. If you pick the serviette up, the other loose triangle will fall down from the back of the right hand side, so now you have a long narrow strip at the top that has pointed east and west edges and two triangles hanging down at the bottom.
- Put your finger on the topmost left point of the bigger triangle that is hanging down, (your finger should be about 1/3 of the way along, from the very top left edge)Then fold the most top left point to the right so that the finger would be at the center of the new fold that you make. Lift up the flap of the bigger triangle that is hanging down and tuck the point that you folded over underneath.
- Turn the serviette over so that the straight edge is still at the top and place your finger at the peak of the triangle that is pointing upward. (your finger should be roughly half way along the top edge of the serviette).
- Bring the most left point completely towards the point in the top right hand corner, where your finger was, is where the new fold line is.
- Pick up the napkin and carefully tuck this flap into the opposite fold.
- Carefully pick up the serviette so that the two points are in the North/South position, slip your fingers underneath and pull very gently in both east/west direction to open the serviette enough so that it stands up.
- Neaten the centre a little if necessary.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette square out flat before you in a square shape.
- Fold the bottom left and right corners to meet the top left and right corners. You will now have a rectangle with the crease along the bottom edge.
- Place your finger at the center of the top edge, with your other hand fold the bottom right hand corner to meet your finger.
- Now take the very top right hand corner, and fold it to the very top left hand corner. You should now have a square shape with a diagonal line running from top left to bottom right.
- Take the bottom left hand corner and fold it up to the top right and corner.You will now have a right-angle triangle (the right-angle being in the top right hand corner).
- Pick up the serviette so that the right-angle is facing away from you in the North position. Carefully open the inside folds so that you have something that resembles an ice cream cone (but with one side of the top higher than the other)The side closest to you will have all 4 loose corners visible.
- The side with the right-angle triangle will be the lowest point of the cone shape. Grasp this place ( it's also where the join is) firmly and carefully turn it it a little inside out, so that a small cuff is made all the way around. The bottom of your ice cream cone is now an elegant cone shaped sail and the cuff rises at one end like a little boat.

- Depending on how big your serviettes are, fold 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches (4-7 cm) back undernieth the fold edge of the triangle. The bigger the serviette the deeper this fold will be.
- Take the "east" point of the triangle and start rolling it up towards the "west" point of the triangle. When you get to the "west" edge tuck the "west" edge into to pleat that forms at the bottom.
- Turn the serviette over so that the neat front side is showing.
- A small bloom can be inserted into the pleat at the bottom if you wish.

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, SIMPLE STANDING FAN
Between the teachings of my Grandmother, an Aunt, my Mother and several restaurants I learned a lot about serviette/ napkin folding.. Works well with cloth napkins, or larger paper ones. I have included step-by-step photographs to illustrate/supplement the written directions. For neater presentation use ironed napkins for this fold. Once I had loaded all the serviette folds that I knew well here, I decided to learn others that I hadn't yet mastered, and this one was excellent because while it is a tried and true restaurant favourite, I never used it while in the three restaurants I worked in. So now was my chance to learn a new one! I had fun and I hope that you do too.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette out flat and square before you.
- Take the top and bottom left hand corners and fold them over to the top and bottom right hand corners so that you now have a vertical rectangle before you, with the crease on the left.
- Starting at the bottom left and bottom right corners, accordion fold the serviette upwards to just past the half way point of the rectangle. (ironing the folds helps them to keep their shape).
- Now take the right side corner edge of the accordion folded strip and fold it over to the left side corner edge of the accordion strip so that the strip is now folded in half. There will be a square shape that is folded in half hanging out at the back.
- Holding the folded accordion pleats firmly, take hold of the top right corner of the square flap at the back (this corner has two open points, no fold line) and fold it over to meet the bottom left point of the square (right next to the accordion fold where it is folded in half), it should overlap the bottom of the square just a little.
- Now take that little overlapping flap and tuck it under the bottom of the square, that should secure things so that the serviette will stand up well.
- Carefully stand the serviette up and fan out the accordion pleats, the square part will be at right angles out at the back and stabilizes the fan as it stands up.
- Present it standing on a plate.

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, EASY MAKE-IN-ADVANCE
Between the teachings of my Grandmother, an Aunt, my Mother and several restaurants I learned a lot about serviette/ napkin folding.. Works well with cloth napkins, or larger paper ones. I have included step-by-step photographs to illustrate/suppliment the written directions. For neater presentation use ironed napkins for this fold. This one was the first one that my Grandmother taught me how to make. (I was in my early teens and used to help her with ironing and we would make these as we did the laundry and carefully stack them ready for future use). An easy make-in-advance serviette.

Steps:
- Lay your serviette square out flat before you. Fold it in half horizontally.
- Take the serviette and fold it in half again vertically so that it is now a small square a quarter the size of the origonal square.
- Only one corner of the square will have 4 open / loose edges, rotate your square so that it is a flat diamond shape with the open corner pointing downwards. We will call this the South corner, and the top corner opposite North.
- Take the uppermost of the loose points at the South position and fold it up to meet the North point.
- Take the next loose point at South position and also fold it towards the north point but stop short of it so that you have a triangle within a triangle.
- Repeat with the remaining two loose points so that you now have a set of ever decreasing triangles on the front of your triangular serviette. If you have time, press these with an iron so that you have crisp sharp creases ( this does improve the result immensely).
- Carefuly turn the serviette over and take the bottom right point and bring it up to a central point midway along the edge between the bottom left point and the top at North.
- Repeat with the remaining corner. Iron the creases.
- Turn the serviette over again to show off the neat front side.
