a must-have reference for your kitchen

Along with your collection of recipe books, this is a must-have reference. First impressions can really make the difference in any situation - including meal time. Whether you're making a snack for your kids or having the boss and his family for dinner, you can spice up a meal before it starts by having a lovely napkin arrangement.It used to be that napkin arrangements were common place at just about any non-fast food restaurant, but it has become a lost art form except for the ritziest of hotels and most expensive 5-star restaurants where a basket of bread sticks can run you fifty bucks. Most restaurants just roll your utensils into a cloth napkin and have you set your own plate. Efficient, but not as elegant.This tiny book only has 22 napkin folds, but they are more than enough. A color photo shows the arrangement, and detailed illustrations take you through each step in achieving the same pattern. From a design in which paper napkins are used as faux roses at a picnic to a crisp cotton swan on your plate, the designs are enough to get your guests (or even your family) talking about how creative and fun the meal is, before they even start eating.
