THE GOURMAND'S EGG. A COLLECTION OF STORIES & RECIPES

Taschen

The Gourmand 

In The Gourmand's Egg. A Collection of Stories & Recipes highlights one of the most versatile ingredients that we can enjoy for breakfast, lunch and dinner in an array of dishes. We learn how in ancient Rome, eggs were used to dispel evil spirits and were woven into Egyptian mythology as well. This book (as well as future ones in this series), looks at the intersectionality between food and culture through original recipes while highlighting culinary traditions with the egg from around the world. There are also artworks that are also included from Salvador Dalí, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, David Hockney, and Man Ray.

We can't wait to see additional foods that will be in this series so that we can learn about other ingredients that are staples in our kitchens.

A botanical garden is a type of garden that is usually public to the community. But it can be private for you and your house guests. A botanical garden is something that you can enjoy every day. It's something to amaze your guests with.

● Small botanical elements

If you are not ready to transform your room into a small botanical garden. If you don't want to wake up every day looking at a forest mural, but still want to have some botanical elements, this might be for you.

You can include small botanical elements in your bedroom, living room or kitchen. Take, for example, botanical sheets for your bed. Botanical drapes in the kitchen, or hand cloths for the bathroom.

Houseplants are also a good addition. Cactuses, succulents and other types of houseplants can add some natural and green look to your interior.
