Voil_--Truffled Berry Praline Purses! Passing off a snack attack as fine food is as easy as a trip to the corner convenience store with this book. Featuring 51 clever photographically depicted recipes designed to turn the most disgusting of snacks into delicious(-looking) "gourmet" meals, you can fool even the most discerning palettes. But never mind impressing others! Since many of the ingredients are easy to find in a typical office vending machine, you can save money--and treat yourself to something special. (You are also encouraged to invest in a really great porcelain plate and some stellar silver to complete the experience.) AUTHOR: Emilie Baltz is an international designer and photographer. Her work has appeared in the Vitra Design Museum, Wired Magazine, Time Out New York, Pratt Institute, and more. As a principal at the NYC-based food consulting firm Fork & Design, Baltz is attracted to the frozen moments at the ends of eating implements. SELLING POINTS * This ironic look at candy-bar creations provides much-needed relief from the current deluge of oh-so-serious cookbooks--but is just as impressive visually! * Junk food is at the root of all kinds of horrible health problems, but people still LOVE it. * Despite being an internationally acclaimed food stylist and photographer whose work has been displayed in the Vitra Design Museum, the author doesn't take herself too seriously!
