The goal of the text is to provide a map of how a chef creates a plate of food by considering common questions such as: Where in the menu is this food item to be placed? And how will it be served? Structured as a design process, this book outlines how personal creativity and professional traditions fuse to create successful plated presentations of food"-- UR - http://catalogimages.wiley.com/images/db/jimages/9781118075975.jpg ER -
