A Visible Feast

Vibrant Food
by Kimberley Hasselbrink




is so beautiful that it could serve as a coffeebook, too.  Filled with gorgeous, colorful photographs -- it's art on a plate.

It is often said we eat with our eyes first and this book is sure to stir your appetite.  The recipes use fresh, seasonal ingredients and most of recipes are not difficult or time-consuming.   She is right that many of the recipes, the artistic presentation is intuitive and all you need is a good eye and a discerning palate.  

As an organic gardener and home chef, I enjoy seeing how Hasselbrink mixes up the color and taste.  How she reminds you the dish is your palette.

There are a lot of salad recipes, lighter fare recipes, and not so many stick to your rib entree dishes.  Very California cusine.  Her photos launch a thousand ideas.  I recommend this book to anyone who believes, as Charles Darwin did, "There is grandeur in this view of life." 

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
