Luck of the Irish

The Country Cooking of Ireland does it again! It won best international cookbook of 2011 at the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) Awards during the 33rd IACP Annual Conference in Austin, Texas last week.

Is it luck of the Irish? Sounds more like 'third time's a charm' to me... The book has already won two James Beard awards, and now this makes prestigious award #3! Congratulations to the whole team that brought this gorgeous and delicious book to life.

In The Wilds

I just cannot stop talking about the beautiful In The Wilds, recently published by Princeton Architectural Press!It's a collection of obsessively detailed hand-drawn observations of rural life by Irish artist and illustrator Nigel Peake. It's just a small hardcover (6" x 8" and 144 pages), but just so lovely!

If you haven't seen Nigel's work before (he has worked with the likes of Ninja Tune and Dwell Magazine), here are some illustrations from the book: 

Bicycle Travel Journal also featuring Nigel's illustrations will be published by Laurence King later this year.

The journal will be designed by Roger Fawcett-Tang of Struktur Design and will include 20 illustrations, blank pages to write on and 16 envelopes to store mementoes of your journeys. 

You can pre-order copies from your favourite independent bookstore, or online at Amazon. 

In The Wilds is available now.
