A variety of truly elegant food garnishes,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Food Art: Garnishing Made Easy (Paperback)
John Gargone's Food Art isn't for the quick cook who wants to produce garnishes in seconds: it's for the cook who wants a variety of truly elegant food garnishes to produce from scratch, from carved vegetable art to meat and vegetable displays and more. Yes, it's easy to do - but it won't be accomplished in seconds. FOOD ART's step-by-step color photos throughout provide exceptional embellishment on the techniques and fine art of carving and making garnishes.

Easy and Elegant,

This review is from: Food Art: Garnishing Made Easy (Paperback)
I am a caterer "wannabe" who has been doing food art for family and friends for some time and found this book to be a great launching tool for ideas. The carvings I enjoy the most are the potato flowers (very easy), tomato roses, & carrot tulips. Also, the photos of vegetable and cheese and cracker trays have been indispensible and well accepted when I imitated these in my displays. I would definitely recommend this book to both beginner and professional alike.

UTTER WASTE OF MONEY,

This review is from: Food Art: Garnishing Made Easy (Paperback)
This is a very disappointing book. The garnishes are either overly elaborate and old-fashioned or suitable for a kindergarten class.
As a professional caterer I can find nothing in this book that I will use. I also purchased Garnishing: A Feast for Your Eyes by Francis T. Lynch and this book is excellent. His chocolate roses are exquisite.
