A sense of calm permeates the city of Kyoto, situated in the western heart of the island of Honshu, in the Kansai region. From gardens to temples, from cherry blossom trees to wooden architecture, the natural beauty of Kyoto is always showcased. This tranquil identity is also reflected in the simplified approach to cuisine, which champions the pure flavor of top-quality ingredients. The lively spirit of Kyoto is best experienced during Gion Matsuri, one of Japan's largest festivals. The parades of elaborate floats, called yamaboko, are art exhibitions in motion, presenting the exquisite local craftwork. This same attention to detail can be seen in the Japanese approach to architecture and interior design. While Kyoto's festivals are colorful and over the top, the ubiquitous design aesthetic is more restrained and simplified, allowing the quality of the materials to speak for themselves and offering a respite from the buzzing life in the city. Through the pages of Kyoto Serenity, Japanese culture is on full display, exploring time-honored traditions such as geishas, tea ceremonies, and flower arrangements. The city's unique aura is perhaps what made rock star David Bowie an admirer.. 312 pages. Over 200 illustrations. Released December 2024. Measures approx 10 W x 13 H. ASSO-WH15. 9781649803528.

Developed in close partnership with the trio behind Major Food Group, CARBONE includes over a dozen recipes from the restaurant that have never before been shared. Along the journey, anecdotes and recollections from the founders and the restaurant's inimitable cast of characters provide readers a captivating inside look at what it takes to create a New York City legend. It's an early spring day in downtown Manhattan, and Mario Carbone, Jeff Zalaznick, and Rich Torrisi are back on the block where it all began over a decade ago. Here at 181 Thompson Street, the newly formed trio harnessed the energy Rich and Mario generated nearby at Torrisi Italian Specialties to revive a culinary style that few chefs with their pedigrees would typically deem worthy of their dedication.

The wine culture of the Mediterranean islands is a story of sun, salt, and centuries-old craft. From the volcanic soils of Sicily to the windswept vineyards of Corsica, from the quartzite and schist rock of Porquerolles to the sun-drenched hills of Majorca, each island offers its own distinct terroir - shaped by rugged terrain, maritime breezes, and a particular climate that cultivates grapes that produce complex blends. Wines here are bold yet nuanced: minerally Assyrtiko from Greece, floral Malvasia from the Aeolian Islands, spicy reds from Sardinia's Cannonau vines, and the elegant Vermentinos of the northern coastlines. But beyond the bottle, the experience is equally inspiring: tastings held at seaside estates, in olive groves, or in the cool atmosphere of time-worn cellars carved from stone.

The Hamptons is synonymous with luxury. Simply mentioning the name conjures images of poolside soirées, grandiose waterfront estates and endless days on the beach socializing with the upper echelon. But before this famed peninsula became the summer haunt of the glitterati, its forty miles of rolling sand dunes provided the perfect landscape for English settlers. Once New York high society caught wind of the charming hamlets and salty air, its members - from the Fords to the Vanderbilts - soon turned The Hamptons into a summer oasis. Next came the creatives seeking solitude, a place to write and sketch, away from the urban cacophony. John Steinbeck in Sag Harbor. Jackson Pollock in the Springs. And Andy Warhol in Montauk. Now, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Calvin Klein, Madonna, Alec Baldwin and Martha Stewart all enjoy Hamptons homes.

One can almost hear the thwock of tennis balls at The Meadow Club, the whisperings of exclusive parties, the rhythms of seaside music at The Surf Lodge - even the first bite of a lobster roll at Lunch.

The Italian region of Tuscany is a feast for all senses. A creative incubator that has cultivated art and architecture for eras including Etruscan, Roman, Renaissance and modern times.
