What is it called?

Wife is preparing a dinner for about ten people in our home and was wanting to work on her plating to "bump it up". What is the name of the little squiggles on the plate around the food so we can do the research.

You can search for Garnishes or Plate Presentation. Chefs sometimes use chopped fresh parsley, paprika or a combo of both on the edge of a plate. Sometimes they will take a squeeze bottle of the sauce to decorate.
Hope this helps....

this may make a good gift for wifey:

I haven't looked at it, but I'm sure it would be a decent read for novices and professionals alike.
