2.0 out of 5 stars Expected more from top line chefs, June 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Garnish (Hardcover)

I was very excited when I received my book. Unfortunatly my excitement turned to dissapointment as I thumbed through the pages. While the book was filled with easy to do garnishes it was elementary and below my expectations. While the beginning of the book had some good points and conveyed a general understanding of garnishing, It was less than what I expected from 4 well educated chefs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Simple & good for beginner, September 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Garnish: (Packaged with Tools) (Hardcover)

This book is good for beginner like me. This book teaches us how to garnish in simple way. One of the good things about this book is that it carries tools. For me it helps a lot because first I didn't know which tools to use. Another reason is that this book shows many fun ways to carve with cute & beautiful shapes. And that work with children who dislike eating fruits or vegetables. By seeing their cute shape, children are so fond of them that they eat it without knowing that they used to hate those particular fruits or vegetables. This is a useful book. Too bad the pages guidelines aren't colored. Plus the guide pictures are only drawn not photos. It will be nice if this book show actual pictures and colored. Anyhow the result is definitely beautiful but simple to make.
