The title and concept of this particular cookbook drew me in right away. Zizka includes creative recipes and information about the different colors we find in foods. She explains how colors interact and how plating affects the colors. The idea of making a dish that is one color is something I have not seen in other cookbooks. The ingredients needed to make many of these recipes will influence people to try new ingredients. At the end of the book, Zizka provides ideas for menus using color and her recipes. The recipes seem simple to follow and Zizka reminds readers that cooking is also fun and partially experimentation. The reader's dish may not look like the pictures, but that is part of the fun of cooking based on color. I would recommend this anyone especially those looking for a new kitchen inspiration.

Summer is the perfect time to up our food game. Naturally delicious ingredients are plentiful and less expensive. Patrons looking for a fresh approach to inspiration at meal time will love this book.
