Author's Breakfast by Petunia Ollister

Author's Breakfast by Petunia Ollister is the book that contains the books; it is the search for the juxtaposition of books, contexts and dishes.

AUTHOR'S PHOTOGRAPHS

Each shot is immortalized by the author. The choice of books and their juxtaposition not the context and breakfast is not random but precisely researched and realized.

BOOKS & BREAKFASTS

The volumes chosen for the "portrait" are books about food or cooking, novels in which food is the protagonist or in which there is even just a few well-known quotes on the subject.
The shots, in addition to the book, feature the slow breakfast according to the Slow Food philosophy, in a hypothetical journey around the world and tasty preparations for the first meal of the day. Accompanying it all are not only quotes from the books, but a rich compendium of recipes for reproducing juices, extracts, brioche, muffins, and dishes from traditional regional or foreign breakfasts.
A collection of books, breakfasts, tablecloths, objects, recipes-all with the aesthetic grace that only Petunia Ollister can communicate through her #bookbreakfasts.
Among the volumes included you will find The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, Afrodita by Isabel Allende, The Corrections by Jonhatan Franzen, In Search of Lost Time by Marcell Proust, and then again Gli arancini di Montalbano by Andrea Camilleri, The Restaurant of Love Found by Ito Ogawa: 74 books to which a recipe is paired, a recipe often found within the pages of the book or simply suggested, evoked by the reading.

CONTEMPORARY ART

The ashtag allowed the book to go viral in a very short time and find a response from visual food lovers, who are more and more by the day. The quid that marks the line between this volume and the many cookbooks that are continuously published is the literary research and the juxtaposition of many arts in one volume: photography, literature, cooking and design.

THE AUTHOR.

Petunia Ollister is her pen name, which seems perfect printed on the cover of this passionate and intelligent book, to consult with love and collect with envy.

THE TRICK IS THERE AND IT SHOWS!

Opening the dust jacket you will find the tracks to set up a breakfast: plate, glass, cup, spoons, napkin, fork and, of course, book.
Our advice is not to read it or just leaf through it but to experience it.
Author's Breakfast by Petunia Ollister is the ideal volume to give breakfast the much-hyped importance it deserves, as long as you are passionate about it.
