Pantone Foodmood

Each recipe collection is introduced with an essay by a Pantone color expert, and each is styled to perfection and photographed in Pantone''s full-color glory. Added features include 40 suggested menus combining colors for occasions (brunch, a children''s party, happy hour, a dessert buffet); cuisines (Italian, Mediterranean, Japanese, French); meals for every season; and many other themes. Also included is an extensive guide to necessary equipment, utensils and ingredients.
