ow do i make food look to good to eat but also amazing to eat?
My wife and I love the show hells kitchen. We think the food they make looks absolutely wonderful.
My question is where can we find cook books or websites that illustrate how to make dishes look so good. I want people to see our food and can’t wait to try it.
I’ve looked up Gordon Ramsay’s cookbooks, and to me they seem like they are very, very complicated and have too much fish(my wife and i don’t eat much fish). We are not good cooks. I just want to make amazing simple food and learn the basics of gourmet cooking. Oh and I need it to have lots of pictures! Most of the time I’ll have no clue what a dish will taste like without seeing it.
I know I’m asking for a lot, help!
There are two really good culinary text books with great pictures: “The Professional Chef” – Culinary Institute of America and “On Cooking” – Labensky and Hause.
Also, try this website: http://www.acfchefs.org This website lists a lot of great books, although you’ll have to dig through the website’s menus to find them. There are some great books out there on plate presentation. I just don’t know the titles right off hand.
As for making food that tastes great, its just a matter of trial and error. The great chef Georges Auguste Escoffier once said that you had to prepare a dish 100 times before you could fully understand and appreciate it. In other words, practice, practice, practice.

The New Grays Wild Game Cookbook: A Menu Cookbook $22.62 Game is ultimately the most American ingredient, the only possible food capable of establishing itself as a defining element in a true American cuisine. So writes Rebecca Gray in the Preface of The New Grays Wild Game Cookbook, and for the next 61 menus and 180 individual recipes she gives us what amounts to a celebration of wild game as the ultimate gourmet food. Here, in abundance, is the joy and exhilaration of preparing exquisitely matched accompaniments to beautifully prepared main dishes of venison, wild fowl, upland birds and other choice meats brought to the table by the North American hunter. Laid to rest, through anecdote, personal experience and technical exposition, is any vestige of the intimidation a cook might feel when faced with a justbagged bird. Extensively revised and updated from the original, The New Grays Wild Game Cookbook, in addition to separate, menufilled chapters on Venison, Water Fowl, Upland Birds and Mixed Bag (a collection of menus for such diverse prizes as wild sheep, mountain goat, bear, wild boar and rabbit), contains detailed and stylishlywritten chapters on Game Care (not the usual fielddressing and cutting instructions, but a carefullyresearched and wittilypresented discussion of what matters most to the cook) and A Few Suggestions (advice and opinion that respects the readers own experience while passing along nearly thirty years of absorbed interest in fine preparation of tasteful wild game meals). The New Grays Wild Game Cookbook treats wild game in its truest and broadest context. Wild game is that rarest of culinary ingredients: something that, quite literally, money cannot buy. Rebecca Gray knows this, and every recipe here celebrates it. So will anyone lucky enough to be served its menus.

The Amateur Gourmet by Anding, Gini [Paperback] $41.29 Gini Anding and Amy Page first met in a pastry shop on the main street of the Ile SaintLouis in Paris. It was a chilly, rainy evening, and both were wearing the same navy blue raincoat and carrying identical black umbrellas.

While one is slightly shorter and plumper than the other, both are blondes and also Americans. We could be taken for sisters one of them exclaimed. From this chance encounter came a magical friendship and The Amateur Gourmet, Sometimes in the world of fiction, a character takes off and the author loses control. So it is with Gini Anding and Amy Page in the Witness series of romantic mystery novels: Witness on the Quay (2005), Witness at the Bridge (2006), Witness in the Square (2006), and a work in progress, Witness by the Church, Amy is the protagonist in these novels, and she is writing a cookbook, a project that many of her friends thought shed never finish because of her constant additions and revisions. Even her creator began to despair of having her find the last period. Fortunately, it just so happens that Gini shares Amys love of cooking and interest in all things culinary.
