We have this book, it's beautiful. The food shots also include the backgrounds as shown above. It's a beautiful book. Buy it at Florey's, not Amazon.
[editor's note: riptide supports florey's bookstore, and all other forms of shopping locally, but we also need to remind you that if you choose to shop online for books or almost anything else, you can help riptide survive by buying from amazon on its search box embedded in our right sidebar, which pays us a percentage commission....end of commercial]
