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.
Rating: 1 / 5
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.

Wonderful book a must won if you are a big Caterer or a house party host. The illistrations are wonderful and knowledge at a glance. Couldn’t live with out it.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is a very disappointing book. The garnishes are either overly elaborate and old-fashioned or suitable for a kindergarten class.
As a professional caterer I can find nothing in this book that I will use.
I also purchased Garnishing: A Feast for Your Eyes by Francis T. Lynch and this book is excellent. His chocolate roses are exquisite.
