The Decorative Art of Japanese Food Carving: Elegant Garnishes for All Occasions
I lover this book. Fully illustrated, with most of the space used for multiple color inserts on every page. Each path is artfully detailed. This book is basic. Each suggestion is practical. Garnishes made from cucumbers, daikon, red radish, lemon, grapefruit, papaya and more. From Spartan thin tied carrot knots, to a melon carved bird basket. From elaborate eggplant traps to apple cages.
i almost never become so excited with a new book. It doesn't take long to read because it's barely a hundred pages of mostly pictures. Published less then a year ago, and being only 8" x 10", it will still contribute to a great coffee table book. I can't wait to try the zucchini net: a great alternative to nori rolls or wrapping in lettuce.
Almost certainly adaptable to an all raw food menu, I will certainly use some of these in my food presentations. I hardily recommend this book. And at this consequence, it's a worthwhile indulgence.
Huge book

You can be effective by the decorative food carving at kaiseki restaurants that the Japanese eat with their eyes. No other book has captured this dying art in such detail.
The Decorative Art of Japanese Scoff Carving is filled with instructions and photos that give you the skills to recreate these wonders at home, as well as simple recipes and a govern to carving tools. Most impressive is the delicate and thin slices that chef Hiroshi Nagashima, of Hongan-ji temple restaurant Shisui in Tsukiji, uses to transmute fruit and vegetables into edible art.
We tested a few of these techniques at home and were tickled by the successful results. Complicated as some of the shapes look, it is in point of fact easy to make the curls and knots. The chapter on cucumber carvings in particular was a snap to recreate at cosy, and satisfying to the palate.
