Not especially helpful with garnishing
I agree with the other reviewer. While this is a lovely book, it was not what I was expecting or hoping for. I found it lacking in illustrations.

Arranging Food Beautifully
I am starting a catering business and I was looking for a book which was focused on presenting foods on the buffet table. This book did include several helpful photographs but the book had too many receipes and not enough helpful hints on presentation.

More Text than Photo's
Arranging Food Beautifully is an interesting book but not what I expected. I had hoped to learn tips on presentation and view actual table settings however the content contains more recipes than tips. The recipes are great, and the few photos that are included are helpful, but I would classify this more as a cookbook than a table setting book.
