Food Art: Garnishing Made Easy by Lois J. Davison
The book was received in excellent condition. However, it was too advanced for the use of teaching a beginners class. I think it will be of use in our kitchen, but not as I had intended.
He LOVES it! by Meme F.
Not only was the book cheaper on Amazon than the bookstores but I ordered this book for my boyfriend from here and I got it earlier than expected so that was great! He says it has great step-by-step images and that’s a positive for him since he learns more from visuals. Also, it has instructions that he’s able to follow and understand.
We both just wish it had more “food art” in the book but, overall, it’s a great book!
Easy and Elegant by Meredith Knaus
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.
unrealistic and over the top by
If you were the chef on a cruise ship, these techniques might be useful, but if you’re setting out a buffet at home or as a caterer, you’d be insane to bother with this garish and elaborate nonsense. If you want people to actually eat your food, make it approachable; Nobody’s going to go near it if they’re afraid to ruin your work of “art”. Even the photos on the cover of this book look overdone and artificial… not at all appetizing.
