viewing plated desserts?

[W.DeBord]

I've never come across a site online that showed alot of plated desserts. Have any of you found a site that had alot?

Thanks!

If you are looking for something specific Wendy, Try the image option in Google. I've found lots of images that way.

A member here has a bunch of pix, I think it's Pastry-chef-Dennis or something. I think he's from Australia.

You should check out Tish Boyle's books:


A Modernist View of Plated Desserts (Grand Finales)

Grand Finales: A Neoclassic View of Plated Desserts

Grand Finales: The Art of the Plated Dessert

You can look into the books at amazon, maybe it will give you some ideas.

Which one of Tish Boyle's book do you prefer Wendy?


Have you seen her new book The Good Cookie?

[W.DeBord]

I did see her new book over th weekend, had it in my hands...thought about buying it.......(but I really really sinned yesterday, I bought Bellouets new book on tarts, I'm so excited)


I think I have all of T. Bolyes books....I think I use "A Modernist View Of Plated Desserts" slightly more then the rest. I steal components from all of her books. Sometimes the presentation isn't something I can realistly do at work and I'm looking for recipes....then sometimes the presentation is only thing I'm looking for from her books.

The only book I'm not that crazy about is her Diner Dessert book. I make a couple items from it, they were stickly average to below average in flavor.

Which book do you like Isa? Why?

Chocolate Passion was given to me a few years ago. I haven’t used it that much except for some of the candy recipes and a few of the small desserts. I am hoping this year I will be able to try more of her filled chocolates.


I went out for the first time in a few weeks today. I ended up at the bookstore and once I saw Tish Boyle’s new book, The Good Cookie, I couldn’t put it down. A really nice selection of cookies. There are even miniature desserts in this book. I can’t wait to start baking.

I’m curious about her plated dessert cause no store in my area have them in stock. They are a bit pricey here, all over 60$ and I’m wondering if it’s worth it.

Have you ever seen Sweet Seasons? It’s another plated desserts book, it came out about a year ago.

[W.DeBord]

Yes, her books are pricey here too. But they ones you speak of Moderist desserts and Grand Finales are all other peoples work, Tons and tons of recipes and ideas. I didn't think much of them when I first bought them years ago, I thought they were un-realistic. But as I progress in experience I find I use them more and more.

I think I own sweet seasons, it's at work.
