 Worthless June 20, 2010

I am a professional chef. if you are looking for book about food plating or decorating. DO NOT BUY this book.
There is nothing's on it. trust me.
 Complete waste of money! March 22, 2010
Wilson Valentin (New York, NY United States)
This book was a complete waste of money. You are better off looking at food magazine to get an idea on plating and photographing similar images. A complete disappointment.
 Great chefs tool November 22, 2009

I think this is a great book for Chefs. It has great pictures and some good ideas. Well worth the money.
Expensive book with bad photography, bad design, and only marginal food stylings November 6, 2009
Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States)

What a ridiculously bad book. It's bad in so many ways that it's hard to know where to start. Let me just make a list...
- Expensive for a thin book with not much information in it
- Hostile graphic design, this is supposed to be an educational book, but the printing is hard to see at times
- Bad photography, out of focus shots, shots that barely show the subject foods
- While some of the food stylings are interesting, those are few and far between
- I'm not sure that some of the ideas where really thought through very well, did they really test this stuff?
- Did I already complain about the bad book design?
- And the photography! Ick!
Pure Presentation September 15, 2009
Aparna Jain (India)
If you are looking for a recipe book - this is not the book for you.
But if you are looking to learn the tricks that can make even the most basic chicken with veggies look like its straight out of a star restaurant, this is a good place to start.
Armed with simple straightforward photographs that demonstrate how one can spoon sauces, drizzle dressings, stack salads and make other very interesting little garnishes like herb pressed potatoes, this book is a great buy for a party thrower or a die-hard romantic who loves to dish out special looking meals.
So as long as you have a repository of recipes, this is a great book to learn to make your plate a fashionable one.
