OPT ART INTERNATIONAL GOURMET EDITION
 

"Ode to passion and taste" - a loving homage. With Opt Art discover the passions in kitchens and studios: the taste that is characterized by people and landscapes. Opt Art mirrors the Wealth of lifestyles in the regions of this world: extraordinary photography, impulsive layout and the high-quality print and paper make Your reading enjoyment a sensual experience.
This is a kaleidoscope of countryside, magnificent towns, enchanting islands and secluded mountain valleys. Bustle mixes with serenity, lavishness alternates with the austere clarity that comes of frugality. And together with the changing landscapes, there are differences in human activity, peoples' joie de vivre, their traditions and their art. Nature's products, together with customs and handicrafts, tell us about the lifestyle of the people.
Come with us in to the kitchens of grand restaurants and charming back-street hostelries. Join us in taking pleasure in the richness of this world and enjoying life!
In carefully compiled recipes, and with a loving look at regions and peoples, Opt Art brings to you the inexhaustible wealth of passions and taste.
