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

Book Review: Pretty pictures but lacking substance
Summary: 1 Stars

Whilst some of the presentation ideas are good (not that there are many!) there is little detail on methods used (two or three pictures at most on each)and even fewer recipes...
One of those books that could have been good, but simply fell at the first hurdle - i.e. to engage and inspire!
You could probably gain more from browsing a sunday newspaper supplement.
