Book Review: underwhelmed
Summary: 1 Stars
After purchasing this book and expecting a wealth of information I was toatly underwhelmed. Being a culinary student trying to better my own preasentations and understand the philosphy and reasoning of proper plating I found this book to be flat in presentation uninformative and overall vague.
