"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, purées, 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.

Presenting the best, the easiest to use and the most attractive guide to garnishing available, with techniques for more than 200 decorations. "Surpassing any garnishing book we've seen, this shows how to craft fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, dried mushrooms, [and] dairy products into eye-catching table decorations, all using ordinary implements...of interest to caterers or aspiring party givers."--World of Cookbooks Tomato flowers, filled pepper bowls, apple boats, herb bundles--these are just a few of the 200 garnishing ideas displayed on these colorful pages. Each one is a work of art that makes a meal beautiful to behold, as well as delicious to eat. And, surprisingly, they're all simple to make. Fresh basil leaves encircle a bowl of tomato soup, like petals framing a flower. With just a normal paring knife, an ordinary red onion blossoms into a chrysanthemum. Butter looks better molded into ornaments, including a rose or a shell. From drinks decorated with peel spirals to pretty chocolate boxes, every garnish in this collection is a tasty visual masterpiece.
