A Modernist View of Plated Desserts examines modernist techniques and style in splendid and copious detail. These 50 desserts seem to spring directly from the imagination of the 25 top pastry chefs who created them. The authors also demonstrate how a dessert can take on a modernist classification by altering its central design. 150 color photos. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
