Culinary Artistry Reviews
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book, but now outdated
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Where are the pictures?
Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:
Summary: A Terrific Book - allows for new thinking on food.
Comment: 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.

Editorial Review for Culinary Artistry:
"In Culinary Artistry...Dornenburg and Page provide food and flavor pairings as a kind of steppingstone for the recipe-dependent cook...Their hope is that once you know the scales, you will be able to compose a symphony."—Molly O'Neil in The New York Times Magazine.For anyone who believes in the potential for artistry in the realm of food, Culinary Artistry is a must-read. This is the first book to examine the creative process of culinary composition as it explores the intersection of food, imagination, and taste. Through interviews with more than 30 of America's leading chefs—including Rick Bayless, Daniel Boulud, Gray Kunz, Jean-Louis Palladin, Jeremiah Tower, and Alice Waters—the authors reveal what defines "culinary artists," how and where they find their inspiration, and how they translate that vision to the plate. Through recipes and reminiscences, chefs discuss how they select and pair ingredients, and how flavors are combined into dishes, dishes into menus, and menus into bodies of work that eventually comprise their cuisines.
