Essentially, "Cuisine of the Creative" is a 232-page book with beautiful color photos of more than 140 recipes and works of art. For the cover of the book, a gorgeous plate of pale yellow-hued... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I was at the James Beard Awards Ceremony in New York and think the Nominee, Cuisine of the Creative, should have won. I'm sure it's difficult to evaluate an incredibly beautiful publication when it's equally as stunning for it's art as for it's recipes. I was glad to see that it won Best Photography Award from the International Cookbook Review in Versailles, France!
The photo's make you want to eat the page

Jim Lambeth has done another exceptional job. He has captured the art of cooking with the art of photography. What a beautiful book to display. Thank you Jim and Miles. John A. Heitz
This is a wonderful "Pass-Around" and "Set About" book

We gave this as an inspirational type of cook book to our grand daughter, a new bride. We hope that in times when things like house keeping and cooking become routine and a bit boring that it will stimulate her to again try for magnificence in food presentation. The many pages which connect artistic thoughts with the food inspire a new plate to palate relationship. This is NOT a how to cook book; more a set of suggestions of how to present a dish in mouth watering anticipation.
Simply stunning!

The stunning, museum-quality photographs were taken all over the world as Lambeth and James photographes the prepared dishes against backdrops of the masters' paintings, buildings and restaurants.
I would highly recommend this book

"Cuisine of the Creative" is equal parts Architectural Digest, Art News, Popular Photography and Bon Appetit...a stunning achievement.
