tashas Inspired - A Celebration of Food & Art
Tessa worked both as the publishing agent as well as the project manager on this incredible book.
It is more than just a collection of recipes. Divided into seven different chapters; Café Society, A Spanish Affair, Le Bistro, The Levant Kitchen, A New York State of Mind, A Day in the Country and The Mediterranean Kitchen. The concept encourages home cooks to think like a restaurateur by considering all the elements that lend themselves to a specific menu, including the table setting and the music.
Each chapter’s themed menu is accompanied by a specially curated Spotify playlist to transport readers to each location, as well as offering helpful tips and suggestions for styling the perfect tablescape. To evoke a sense of place, the book is filled with over 70 pieces of beautiful and original art, playing a significant role in the art of entertaining. Artists include Alexandra Ross, Michele Nigrini, Mona Saudi and Akim Monet.
The tashas restaurants are all designed with the same underlying blueprint and yet have their own identity, inspired by a different city, country of culture, which is expressed in every element from the menu to the interior design. As with every tashas restaurant, every single detail is thought about in tashas Inspired, encouraging readers to do the same. The large-format hardback book sits perfectly on the kitchen counter as on a coffee table.
