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.
Food is culture.
This concept is the basis of this book and the idea behind a series of volumes to follow.
The aim of THE CULINARY CHRONICLE is to document the wealth of food culture from all over the world - each year a new, with painstakingly researched articles on regions supposedly well-known, but worth discovering afresh. The purpose of the book is to explore a new dimension: it wants to document the times we live in, offering plenty of culinary information for the eye and the mind, while at the same time, with its modern design, generous series of illustrations and high-quality production, providing enjoyment and stimulating the senses.
For the first time, in THE CULINARY CHRONICLE, a comprehensive documentation is dedicated to the globally cultivated and celebrated art of cooking. As experienced publishers of books which won multiple prices, we regard it as our special challenge to go a step beyond the usual forms of presentation and to acclaim the world's food culture at the highest level.
