REVIEW:
Philip Johnson is one of Australia's culinary stars, and one of the quietly understated of the crew. He lets his food speak for itself and has previously published Bistro and Classic E'cco highlighting the food from his renowned Brisbane restaurant. With DECADENCE he explores the sweet and indulgent side of his food - the sweets he is so passionate about. Not much story here but lots of well explained recipes from chocolate to ice cream with all the exquisite sauces and condiments he uses to decorate his dishes. The basics are covered so the recipes become achievable without excessive work. The photography is great and will help with final presentation.
