Review: I’ve seen some beautiful works of art, almost like origami for cloth napkins at a few parties or in a traditional hotel setting and had wondered, “How do they do that?” Denise Vivaldo, a seasoned food professional who has catered ore than 10,000 parties and founder of Food Fanatics, has created this beautifully illustrated book to show you how to create 100 folds in Top 100 Step-by-Step Napkin Folds.
This book features 100 folds that are divided into easy, intermediate, and advanced sections. I took on two of the easy, and one of the intermediate so far in order to warm up to some of the featured folding techniques in this book. I have yet to tackle the advanced section. I am embarrassed to state my napkin pictured in this post is from a set kept in our picnic basket. We otherwise currently use paper napkins in our home. 🙁
I love the step-by-step instructions/images included in Top 100 Step-by-Step Napkin Folds. The wired binding is hidden on this book beneath a hardcover so it lays flat when viewing. The techniques range from practical to elegant, or even a bit of seasonal flare, like the Bunny for Easter. A few folds require what I will call “common props”, such as napkin rings, ribbon, and so forth.
Napkin folds are always stylish, clever, and appreciated. Denise Vivaldo will help make your next table setting more memorable with Top 100 Step-by-Step Napkin Folds Book Review.
