Verlag Peter Lang Requests and Culture: Politeness in British
Book SynopsisThis book presents a cross-cultural comparison between British and Japanese cultures focusing on requests and responses. The study is based on data elicited from a questionnaire which lists the choices of strategies for making requests and responding to off-record requests, taking into account the variables power, social distance and imposition. The author's findings suggest important refinements to Brown and Levinson's politeness categorisation and question the validity of cultural stereotypes. Drawing on the distinction between individualist and collectivist cultures, this study also accounts for differences between the politeness strategies in British English and Japanese.

Prestel Painting the Plate: 52 Recipes Inspired by Great
Book SynopsisThis unique cookbook pairs artistic masterpieces with effortless recipes that will turn your dining room table into a feast for the eyes and the palate. Filled with gorgeous photography, high quality reproductions and fascinating anecdotes, this one-of-a-kind cookbook connects great art with the world of food. To create the recipes in this book Felicity Souter delved into the lives of artists past and present, uncovering fascinating stories, eating habits, and cultural traditions. Each entry consists of an appetizer, main, side, dessert, or drink that visually echoes the artwork and reflects the culinary connection to its artist. More than fifty masterpieces from an enormous array of genres and periods include works by Marina Abramovic , Jean Michel Basquiat, Georgette Chen, Salvador Dali , Jacob Lawrence, Man Ray, Henri Matisse, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Jackson Pollock. Sumptuous illustrations reveal a striking resemblance between recipe and artwork. An abstract Lee Krasner painting is transformed into a colorful mixed vegetable salad; an oval-shaped Barbara Hepworth sculpture into a crusty loaf of bread; a snowy Monet haystack into a sugar-dusted breakfast muffin; an Yves Klein sponge into an electric blue martini. Easy enough for every day, and aimed at cooks of all abilities, these recipes are themselves works of art, and will whet the creative appetites of readers and chefs alike.

Guido Tommasi Editore Pantone Foodmood
Book SynopsisGreen with envy; red-faced with embarrassment; in a blue mood; or in the pink: Colour "speaks" well before words. And Pantone is the renowned authority on colour and colour communication, known to artists, designers, art directors, businesses and students around the world. Central to their understanding of colour are the subtle cues that affect how we relate to our environment and each other. Now, in collaboration with Italy's premiere cookbook publisher, Pantone brings its expertise on the relationship between colour and mood to the subject of food. Fifty-six step-by-step recipes are gathered around eight colours and their variations, including: Yellow (Tarte Citron); Magenta (Sea Bream Tartar with Rose Petals); Green (Savoury Asparagus Tart); Blue (Salad with Borage Flowers); Purple (Fox Grape Pudding); Orange (Tandoori Chicken with Basmati Rice); Red (Round Meringue with Wild Strawberries); and Brown (Coffee Semifreddo). Each recipe collection is introduced with an essay by a Pantone colour expert on that colour's mood-food connection. And each recipe is styled to perfection and photographed in Pantone's full-colour glory. Added features include 40 suggested menus combining colours for occasions (brunch, a children's party, happy hour, a dessert buffet); cuisines (Italian, Mediterranean, Japanese, French); meals for every season; and many other themes. Also included is an extensive guide to necessary equipment, utensils and ingredients. And 50 hand-drawn colour how-to sketches demonstrate styling and presentation techniques for preparing dazzling dishes in the home kitchen. With a sleek modern layout and design, Pantone Foodmood is bound in chic, black die-cut board. The ultimate concept cookbook - perfect for gift-giving - it will be coveted by cooks, food-lovers, Pantone devotees, and all those who love books beautifully made.Trade ReviewPantone's First Ever Cookbook Is a Visual Feast!--Galerie
