Food Presentation Secrets: Styling Techniques of Professionals Review: Great for beginners, better for teaching - I'm a Chef and culinary mentor in NYC, so I bought this book to help with showing students different kinds of plating, I have to admit for the price I expected more, and to be honest, if I saw this book in the store I would have never bought it. Why? Because it feels strongly dated, at an age where everything is wow factor, art work plating, this is more of the first step techniques book.... With that said, I first hated this book but then I realized that it was beyond perfect for what I needed it for, for helping students whom I am mentoring learn the basic steps for learning these steps. So in the end, it helped me more than I expected, and it gave me amazing flashbacks of when I first started learning the basics of the steps of plating. This book breaks down many steps of plating, from plating with fruit, to veggies, it teaches you many things that you will love to learn. So if you are first starting out with plating or looking for a book where you not only can learn but also teach these steps, you found it here... However, if you are an expert at plating and looking for a book to enhance your perfection, this isn't the book for you, this book is for beginners or for those after the beginning stage. Review: ABSOLUTE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK - A very good book with lots of information in it for someone new to food presentation. The book is very concise and at no time does it feel like the author is talking down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone knew and wants to take their presentation game up a notch. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #141,624 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #204 in Cooking Encyclopedias #242 in Cooking, Food & Wine Reference (Books) #2,017 in Culinary Arts & Techniques (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (744) | | Dimensions | 8 x 0.69 x 8 inches | | Edition | 1.6.2010 | | ISBN-10 | 1554074916 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1554074914 | | Item Weight | 1.45 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | February 19, 2010 | | Publisher | Firefly Books | ## Images ![Food Presentation Secrets: Styling Techniques of Professionals - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61m6RPFleYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for beginners, better for teaching *by E***S on October 13, 2016* I'm a Chef and culinary mentor in NYC, so I bought this book to help with showing students different kinds of plating, I have to admit for the price I expected more, and to be honest, if I saw this book in the store I would have never bought it.

The book is very concise and at no time does it feel like the author is talking down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone knew and wants to take their presentation game up a notch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for the amateur *by C***K on April 30, 2010* I'm an amateur "chef"...meaning that I'm not trained but I definitely take cooking seriously. I picked this up with the idea that it'd do what it says it'll do: give amateurs creative ideas for plating. And well, it does just that. The step-by-step directions are a cinch to follow, and the photography of the procedures is excellent. I also have the impression that the ingredients being shown are not the ONLY ingredients that would work well with the detailed techniques. They state this is the case, and I believe them. The only reason I'm not giving this book a 5-star review is because it doesn't blow me away. It's great for what it is, but I don't believe it's the only book I'll ever need on plating. ## Frequently Bought Together - Food Presentation Secrets: Styling Techniques of Professionals - The Flavor Matrix: The Art and Science of Pairing Common Ingredients to Create Extraordinary Dishes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4085903-food-presentation-secrets-styling-techniques-of-professionals](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4085903-food-presentation-secrets-styling-techniques-of-professionals) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
