Rating:  Summary: Adorable reasons to play with your food Review: My mother always stopped me from playing with my food. This book shows why she was completely wrong! From the front cover, with the cute lemon bear, through the pear rabbits and snow pea insects, to the winking pumpkin on the back cover, this book will astound you with its creativity.The first part of Play with Your Food is an essay on the difference between seeing and looking. The main and largest part is photographs of hundreds of food animals made by the authors. The last part is examples and instructions on how to make your own food animals. It's fascinating to see how one can change a face from happy to sad to angry with only the small adjustment of eyes carved from almonds. Play with Your Food is one of the only cute, adorable books I've ever read or looked at that hasn't made me ill. It provides laughter and creative project ideas for people of all ages. From toddlers to octogenarians, this book will delight.
Rating:  Summary: Great photographs and creative ideas. Review: This book is very inspirational for people who need a little boost to become creative. Fun ideas for adults and kids.
Rating:  Summary: A fun book at a reasonable price. Review: This is an enjoyable and fun book whether you only look at it or you actually prepare some of your own "play" food. Especially good for children, the ill, those who need to be encouraged to eat, or someone who is just feeling a bit down.
Rating:  Summary: I love this book! Review: This is such a fun book! It is a great coffee table book or children's gift. My children (ages 1, 4, 4, and 6) can sit and browse through it for the longest time. My one year old thinks it is absolutely hilarious and it's wonderful for encouraging the imagination. We have lots of fun making our own silly people and faces with food. I have given this book as a gift to other children before and, although the kids always like it, the adults at the party always seem to spend the most time looking at it. Definitely one of my favorite books.

Rating:  Summary: Perfect housewarming gift for a fun couple in a new home Review: Whether they try any of these recipes or not, this book makes a creative gift and one that your friends will definitely enjoy. Either this one or the 1999 Play With Your Food Calendar is great when you're stuck on what to give.
Rating:  Summary: A total riot Review: Whoever gave this book a one-star review obviously has NO sense of humor! This book is absolutely hysterical! I was embarrassing myself looking at this in the bookstore because I kept erupting into giggles and people were starting to give me looks... :) I never thot this was a cooking book (is it?) it's just a very fun bunch of visual "jokes." Just good clean fun. Great coffee table book, anyone from 2 to 92 could enjoy looking at it.
