This book is filled with all sorts of information about food prep and techniques and flavor blending. However, where are the pictures? The title makes it sound as though the book will be filled with all sorts of beautiful images, but the cover is all you really get. Food art is more than simply taste, but it is also presentation. This book lacks presentation.

Culinary Artistry came up with a 4.5 star rating in a search pattern for “Garnishing”. The book is more concerned with matching of flavours – flavours, spices, herbs and foods that go together. In a roundabout way this does have relevance to garnishing. Culinary Artistry is overly engrosed in listing individual chefs favorite ingedients and methods of cooking that I felt was irrelevant and did not in its presented format convey enough information i.e more recipes.

A picture is worth a thousand words, as for this book it lacks pictures showing the artistic presentation of the finished culinary delights. Presentation of a five star culinary masterpiece is in my opinion part of food artistry. The biggest picture you have of any dish nearing tasteful completion is the cover. Keep the book for the tables or black and white information.
