The Cook's Atelier $65
They had us hooked as soon as we saw the copper whisks on the cover.... The debut cookbook from The Cook's Atelier, the international culinary destination and cooking school in Burgundy, is a beautifully photographed resource on classic French cuisine and an atmospheric chronicle of a family's life in a charming French village. Mother and daughter American expats Marjorie Taylor and Kendall Smith Franchini always dreamed of living in France. With a lot of hard work and a dash of fate, they realized this dream and cofounded The Cook's Atelier, a celebrated French cooking school in the storybook town of Beaune, located in the heart of the Burgundy wine region. Combining their professional backgrounds in food and wine, they attract visitors from near and far with their approachable, convivial style of cooking. If you can't travel to The Cook's Atelier, you can't help but want to bring this little corner of France into your home. We can almost hear the clanking of the copper pots, the hiss of the vintage espresso machine, and the merriment around the table, as we meet some of the region's best small farmers and artisanal producers and experience how Marjorie and Kendall's family works together to create this special place. More than a practical introduction to classic French cooking, this richly illustrated volume is also a distinctively designed celebration of the French art of joie de vivre and an inspirational primer on adopting elements of the French lifestyle, no matter where you live.

A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That $69.99
A Gujarati Cookbook for Aotearoa. We feel utterly blessed to be selling this book. A beautifully designed, self-published limited edition Gujarati Indian Cookbook that covers a range of Gujarati home cooked recipes with measurements that will help you discover what a little bit of this and a little bit of that truly is. "Many Indian ladies left their home villages with their husbands in search of a better future. They found their home in a place known as the Land of the Long White Cloud: New Zealand. With their knowledge of spices, they brought their Indian flavours, colours and traditions. The next generation, generations after that and even their kiwi friends and families ask these mothers how to make a great curry - and the familiar response is 'a little bit of this and a little bit of that'." With a striking design, evocative photography and clear recipes, this book is an absolute love-letter from one culture to another. This is borne out in the authors notes as to the "spice fern" on the cover - "the fern of New Zealand has been known to contain the intelligence of the deep earth. It symbolises sincerity towards others and can also be understood as a secret bond of love. Figuratively its graceful fronds symbolise multi-culture".
