3.0 out of 5 stars Glorioius Garnishes, May 3, 2000
By A Customer
There are a lot of interesting food arrangements in this book. However, most of the arrangements are designs and abstract shapes vs. animal representations, trees and sculptures of real things. Each chapter is broken down into a major food group, for ex. chapter one is garnishes using fruits, chapter two is vegetables, there is a chapter for butter, etc. The whole book consists of color pictures with some line drawings to illustrate various steps. There are also some recipes in each of the chapters for spreads or fillngs used in some of the designs. They do expect you to have some "garnishing tools" on hand for many of the recipes, but there are some arrangements that can be achieved using ordinary kitchen utensils. Overall it is an interesting book if you are just looking for interesting shapes and colors to spice up your plate or table, but for more specatular "sculptures" I recommend "Garnishing - A Feast for Your Eyes" by Talyn Lynch.
