This book offers a 'colour manual' for the contemporary cook, over 140 exotic, yet easy and economical recipes -- all arranged by colour. Maria Villegas reveals the last secret of professional food writers and photographers: the direct link between sensation and presentation. Put plainly, the colours of the foods on the table actually affect their taste. Each of the colour sections in the book (yellow, green, beige, red, and white) includes a spectrum of recipes from appetisers to entrees, soups and desserts all in the colour 'family'. The menus include over 80 main dishes and 60 complementary dishes which can grouped in different combinations. Illustrated with splendid photographs by the Colombian photographer Claudia Uribe, the book promises to be one of the cookbook sensations of the year.
