 Boiled Brillance January 1, 2008
This is a book to be devoured by the intellect while visually stimulating your hunger pallatte. After reading some of the negative reviews, I realize these authors are cooks not artists. To try to collide two disparate disciplines with such style and artistic whimsy is indeed a daunting task, but mastered deliciously by the graphic artists and chefs. Amazing collusion of effort. The only problem is, that the graphics and food combinations are so alluring, the book will never make it past the coffee table to the kitchen.

 Don't believe the hype December 15, 2006

I bought this book because of a rave review in the LA Times. It was intended as a gift but I would be too embarrassed to give it to anyone. Rarely have I seen a worse designed book. It looks like first generation web design blown up and printed between hard covers. The recipes themselves look interesting and the photos are cute but the prentious verbiage and overblown graphics gave me indigestion before I set foot in the kitchen.
 extra ingredients sacrificed to page layout March 3, 2006

If you want a cookbook that is so poorly edited that you will have multiple extra ingredients from the ingredient list that are not used in the recipe, then this is the book for you.
Entire paragraphs seem to have been cut out of the recipes for the sake of page layout.
What a piece of garbage. I have never been one to burn books, but this is a good candidate for the incinerator.
 A fun and original book! December 3, 2005

I was very impressed with this book. Art and Cook is a very original concept and a great conversation piece for your coffee table or as a gift. There are fun recipes and VERY fun design to compliment them. This was a great purchase. The package alone is worth the cost of the book!!
Very Recommended.
A stupid pretentious book, written by a stupid pretentious person, for stupid pretentious people - a complete rip-off. November 27, 2005

Aside from the fact that the book was plagiarized by Allan Ben from unknowing photographers & designers who were swindled out of their ideas, designs, compensation, and credit - the book has no soul. There is no "running thread" or theme. Not one original thought. Not even worthy as a coffee table book. Don't embarrass yourself - you deserve better.
