Garnishing: A Feast for Your Eyes

This is a great book, it shows you a lot of things, and tricks when it comes to garnishing. The explanations are very detailed, so even the beginners can use it, and learn a lot from it. It helped me a lot, and I hope it helps you too.

I bought this book as a Christmas present for my soon to be son in law. He is a cook on a casino river boat and likes to add special touches when he can. He absolutely loved the book! I looked through it and the directions seemed to be straight forward. Lots of neat ideas!

This is great guide for anyone wanting to add some zest and visual appeal to the usually dull serving of food. Written by a professional, even cooks with no garnishing experience can create gorgeous decorations, presentations and centerpieces. This book is also great for parties and holidays. Taste is only one part of a memorable meal or buffet, attractiveness also counts! With the help of the many pictures found in this book, family and guests will swear that you were trained by a master decorator!

At first I thought there is no way I can carve a swan, but I just did what he said and voila - I created a beautiful centerpiece on my first attempt. I never fail to get oohs and ahhs over the swans (and other garnishes) I make.I've given my copy(ies) of this book to people that have shown tthat they would like to do the same things.
