1: Great book, but now outdated
This book has been in nearly every restaurant kitchen since it was published for one reason: the chart of flavor companions.
But now that the authors have published the Flavor Bible, which is basically a big version of that chart, this book is now largely worthless. Maybe new chefs or other budding foodies might find it interesting reading, but that's about it.

2: Where are the pictures?
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.

5: A Terrific Book - allows for new thinking on food.
This book opens my mind to new ways of thinking about food and it's presentation. It has excited me about planning for what might be used to enhance the food experience. I have always felt that a wonderful meal should be an exciting experience -- not just something to stop hunger - or to fill one up!!! Thank you for presenting such a book.
