This is truely a unique book. Surely Martha Stewart must have been channelling the spirit of Granny Clampett to produce these unusual delicacies. Had detailed recipes been included a full 5 stars would have been earned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine food pardody makes you wince & laugh at the same time., September 30, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Critter Cuisine (Hardcover)

We've all seen examples of fine food photography in recipe books, magazine articles and advertisements. Here is a book done by a couple of the experts in the field who poke fun at both themselves and at the rest of us who have come to expect photos of food to be mouth-watering and appealing on a very basic level. But wait until you see the mouse-kabobs with your own eyes! The images make you gape in bemused shock at these exquisitely-photographed "food" items -- that is until you notice that some of them resemble road kill! A wonderful parody on how we look at things in the modern world.

It is nice to see food photographers taking a poke at their own industry. In our "image is everything" society, it is particularly encouraging to see that there are some in the eye-candy trade daring enough to peel off the wrapper and let us see their technique applied to less savory subjects. Anyone for a batburger?
