Ideas in Food, The Photographs
We decided to take advantage of modern technology and self-publish the first book ourselves. It's not a recipe book, although we're working on a few of those, it's a book of photographic inspirations. All of the pictures have been featured here on the site. We've picked our favorites and compiled them into an album of sorts, complete with menu descriptions so that you know what you're looking at. Sometimes a picture is better than a recipe because it gives you a jumping off point without any constraints on your imagination. Alex was the architect, choosing and arranging the photos for your pleasure. So, if you enjoy the site, please take a look at what we've created. If you like it, you can purchase it here or use the bright blue button at the top of the page. *the book is 172 pages long with 172 images and it is soft bound
How is it bound, like hard or soft? I see that it's 172 pages but how many separate images/dishes? It could be a perfect Christmas present to myself.

Well this is a good idea. You definitely have the source material.
If you haven't already, checking out tastingmenu.com's digital cookbooks might provide inspiration for another realm to investigate.
Available for download is Autumn Omakase, A Tasting Menu from Tatsu Nishino of Nishino.
and All About Apples A tasting menu from Scott Carsberg of Lampreia.

I second McAuliflower (as usual it seems :-)) re: tastingmenu's amazing books. They are what drew me into food photography to begin with .. its rare when you can point to a single source like that... its easy with his books.
