Came accross this in my favourite Sydney bookstore, Ariel, the other day. A pretty novel concept – combining two of our favourite things in the world: Art and Eating.
The author put this book together over a great excuse for a trip around Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam to London and New York. His road-trip rules were to use public transport, eat street food, and stay in cheap, locally run hotels. All of which allowing him to focus on visiting underground-art-type places, people and events that are seldom covered in traditional culinary or travel titles. There’s fifty recipes including such tantalising urban dishes as: Jerk chicken with hot pepper gravy, Ras-el-hanout lamb, Trinchada, Potjiekos and Rajad’s perfect steak. I’m hungry already.
It’s also littered with stories, interviews and pictures of photographers, illustrators, fashion designers, digital and street artists, skaters, DJs, club owners, musicians from the cities.
The author being a Creative Director of 100proofTRUTH magazine and it being published by Thames & Hudson – you’d expect the layout and images to be great. And they are – check out a pdf sample.
And you can buy The Urban Cookbook here
Anyway it’s been awhile since we’ve done a food related post. Expect more soon.
