It’s Not a Cook Book

But it sure is handy in the kitchen/dining room.This is not a cook book and in some ways, it’s a bit better. The Perfect Setting, Peri Wolfman and Charles Gold, is filled with ideas on how to dress a table. Yeah baby! I have been getting more into presentation following exposure to Asian movies about cooking; Dae Jung Geum, and reading Asian cook books; Harumi’s Japanese Cooking.I don’t just want to make tasty food, I want to create a beautiful experience. Do you feel sometimes as I do, that your day can get caught up in rushing around so much so, that every beautiful moment is snatched up and stolen away by the urgent? Well, make a cuppa and put your feet up and learn a little about how to make eating more than a few gulps before you go on to the next task. Let’s make it a beautiful moment in the day.

I have cutlery very similar to this. I don’t care for it, it is too manly for me. It is Tech Hubby’s from before we were married

Also featured are different types of linens and full examples of place settings in different styles and colors. There are many photos of teapots inside a country kitchen, outside, ready for a breakfast of croissants and tea under the shade of a tree.

Look, even a paper Alice and her friends are enjoying the perfect setting for an enjoyable meal.

From a simple soup, to a rustic loaf of bread, from appetizers to fancy parties, this book can tell you how to make it look fabulous.
