THE GOURMAND´S EGG

THE GOURMAND´S EGG

When life gives you lemons...



A gastronomic journey through art, cinema, literature and recipes



The lemon is the protagonist of the second volume of TASCHEN's collaboration with The Gourmand, a magazine where food and art intersect.

This cheerful yellow fruit is a box of surprises, it was the star of the Renaissance gardens, which shaped the Medici dynasty, it has the power to protect against scurvy and was a protagonist in the formation of the mafia. In addition, its juice has been used as invisible ink since 600 AD. C. to write secret messages.



The Gourmand astonishingly traces the genealogy of the lemon, explores its role as a literary resource for writers such as Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, and James Joyce, and examines its unique representation of the American dream through lemonade stands. .



A foreword by chef Simon Hopkinson and an introduction by art critic and writer Jennifer Higgie accompany these citrus-focused anecdotes. Plus more than 60 lemony recipes from cuisines around the world, including poultry dishes, decadent sauces, classic cocktails and delicious desserts, all photographed exclusively by Bobby Doherty.

Taschen

Benedikt Taschen, con tan solo 12 años, empezó a vender comics. Con 15 años ya era económicamente independiente y con 18 ya había abierto una tienda, Taschen comics. Es ahí, en Colonia, en 1980 cuando nace la marca. Desde ese momento se dedicó a la reventa de libros, hasta 1982 que edita su primer libro. Este era un libro de fotografías de Annie Leibovitz. Posteriormente le siguieron otras ediciones, casi todas dedicadas a pintores. La misión de la compañía es publicar libros que bien diseñados e innovadores a precios asequibles. Hoy en día es una de las editoriales más importantes que existe, con sus ediciones sobre arte, fotografía, arquitectura, etc. Hoy en día Taschen dispone de series de básicos a precios más asequibles, ediciones en tamaños XL o ediciones limitadas de ciertas publicaciones que son auténticas obras de arte. Nos encanta por la imagen, las temáticas y las ediciones tan atractivas que realizan, que además tienen un precio asequible y son libros para toda la vida, que de vez en cuando apetece volver a echarles un ojo, e inspirarnos con sus contenidos.
