"Forget the confines of traditional recipes and take a step back. This book from the Creative Chef is about re-creating those amazing and memorable eating experiences and putting stories behind them that'll turn your dinner parties on their head." - Finedininglovers.com "The nice thing about this book is not so much the fact that Jasper explains how to turn a vinyl record into a serving bowl. Nor that he shares recipes or shows you how cheese looks like from the perspective of a mouse. What hopefully lingers is that you can add meaning and experience to a dish or a dinner. That you can add so much more to a dinner besides food and a nicely set table. That you can actually engage people in a story. We can make food more valuable and above all, more fun!" - Morethanmayo.com "The book is an absolute book shelf beauty, from the inside and the outside and that is reason enough for me to be triggered. You might expect a cookbook from a chef, but this book is definitely not your regular cookbook. In this book the curiosity of Jasper is brought together in inspiring stories, recipes, tips and magical photography." - Wanderingthefuture.com I've been looking forward to this book for a while: -) and it's really cool! A must have for food designers, hospitality experts and food adventurers. -MoreThanMayo.com "Creative Chef makes me want to seriously step up my dinner party game." -Swissmiss.com "This chef is trying to turn food into museum artwork" - Munchies.vice.com
