I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.  All opinions are my own.

Author NEMO shares the techniques in baking that make desserts look as good as they taste in the book “Decoration and Presentation.”

THE SYNOPSIS

Decoration is part of the preparation, rather than a luxury for those with time and professional equipment: a dessert that looks cared for is perceived as better on the palate too.

Five chapters: modelling chocolate and chocolate decorations, vegan sugar paste and fondant, glazes and decorative coatings, natural decorative elements, plating. Techniques you can carry out with ordinary tools and a steady hand.

THE REVIEW

This was a fun and unique entry in this vegan cookbook series. Learning how decorating desserts affects both the palate and people’s interest in specific foods made this a memorable read. The author strikes a great balance between informative instructions and powerful insights on using specific techniques for vegan desserts. Readers can use these items as a quick reference when creating their own recipes.

From modeling chocolates to vegan glazes, fondants, and so much more, this book is the perfect read for those who enjoy non-fiction cookbooks. Understanding the techniques that balance these ingredients in any dish, and applying them to the visual styling of particular recipes, adds creative flair to the series.

THE VERDICT

Compelling, engaging, and memorable, Author Nemo‘s “Decoration and Presentation” is a must-read non-fiction vegan cookbook.
