Book Reviews of Working the Plate: The Art of Food Presentation
Book Review: Expensive book with bad photography, bad design, and only marginal food stylings
Summary: 1 Stars
What a ridiculously bad book. It's bad in so many ways that it's hard to know where to start. Let me just make a list...
- Expensive for a thin book with not much information in it
- Hostile graphic design, this is supposed to be an educational book, but the printing is hard to see at times
- Bad photography, out of focus shots, shots that barely show the subject foods
- While some of the food stylings are interesting, those are few and far between
- I'm not sure that some of the ideas where really thought through very well, did they really test this stuff?
- Did I already complain about the bad book design?
- And the photography! Ick!
