Product Description
Product Description
"Surpassing any garnishing book we've seen, this shows how to craft fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, dried mushrooms, dairy products into eye-catching table decorations, all using ordinary implements, unlike garnishing techniques from the Far East which require special tools. Little radish mice to nestle in the holes of Swiss cheese, a Pear Hedgehog, Homemade Potato Chips with Herb Silhouettes, an unforgettable Cheese Tray: cheeses set amidst fragrant herbs and flowers; there are also new ways with creams, puries, coulis, and dessert sauces. It's a book to turn you into a culinary artist, of interest to caterers or aspiring party givers."-- "World of Cookbooks
. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 11.

Glorioius Garnishes
3 May 2000
Format:Paperback
There are a lot of interesting food arrangements in this book. However, most of the arrangements are designs and abstract shapes vs. animal representations, trees and sculptures of real things. Each chapter is broken down into a major food group, for ex. chapter one is garnishes using fruits, chapter two is vegetables, there is a chapter for butter, etc. The whole book consists of color pictures with some line drawings to illustrate various steps. There are also some recipes in each of the chapters for spreads or fillngs used in some of the designs. They do expect you to have some "garnishing tools" on hand for many of the recipes, but there are some arrangements that can be achieved using ordinary kitchen utensils. Overall it is an interesting book if you are just looking for interesting shapes and colors to spice up your plate or table, but for more specatular "sculptures" I recommend "Garnishing - A Feast for Your Eyes" by Talyn Lynch.
