Book Reviews of Working the Plate: The Art of Food Presentation

Book Review: Poorly written, utterly useless
Summary: 1 Stars

I have had this book on my recycle bin list for some time, and the unsolicited advertisement by Amazon to purchase it induced me to write this review. Don't buy this dog. It fails to deliver on any front and is a total waste of money.

Summary of Working the Plate: The Art of Food Presentation

Feast your eyes.


Long awaited by professional chefs, this groundbreaking guide to food presentation will also delight and inspire culinary students and sophisticated home cooks. 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.

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.
