Acclaimed food writer and culinary producer Christopher Styler describes seven distinctive plating styles, from Minimalist to Naturalist to Dramatic, with several striking examples of every genre. Each plating suggestion is accompanied by clear instructions along with color photos of step-by-step techniques and finished plates. Complete with essays on plating from ten leading chefs and recipes for the dishes featured, this book is a work of art in itself--a must for the kitchen shelf. Related Items:
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not worth the moneyFor the cost of this book I would go with anything else. The pictures are of nice quality...but they lack the angle or proper instruction to assemble the same plate. Rating:  - Just AwfulThe photography is horrible and the plating technique are not only dated, but little detail is given to re-creating them. A complete waste of money and time spent trying to glean something useful out of it. If you are a novice and do not know any better you might pick up something useful, although if you are a professional this book is not worth it. Rating: - not inspiring and not informative Some nice pictures...many cookbooks have better. No discussion on style or technique and certainly no recipes worth buying the book for. Check it out at a bookstore or library before you purchase it...watching a food network show will give you more information on plating than this book will in my opinion. There is also the fact this book is TINY, not worth the money or a second look it is so lacking in information. So disappointing. I was at least expecting pictures of several presentations of different courses even if there was not a lot of explanation, a picture is truly worth a thousand words when developing this skill. Did I mention this book is a big disappointment. Rating:  - Nice for coffee table bookNice presentation and much more appropriate for coffee table. Inspiring but definitely not a reference material.
