Let me start off by saying that this book has some of the cutest ideas and tips for getting creative with food and getting the kids excited about trying different and fun foods. I must say that I absolutely love the techniques in this book they are excellently illustrated with easy to follow step by step instructions. The way the food is presented makes you look at food as art.

This will make meal times so much fun for everyone, I would love the recipes in this book on my table any time and definitely would have loved them when I was a kid, this book is for people of all ages that want to see food in a different more artistic way and to jazz up mealtime.

I think that everyone should have this book, I guarantee you it will change your views on how you see and eat your food and this is food that you can eat and play with because you will not be able to help yourself.
