July 2007 | For our client Chronicle Books, we recently finished designing Where Flavor Was Born: Recipes and Culinary Travels Along the Indian Ocean Spice Route.
This just in from chef and author Andreas Viestad:
The book reached me this afternoon, and I am so thrilled! It is amazing to see the play between the text, photo and design. We all put a lot of hard work into it - and I think we can all agree that is was well worth it. Thank you all - It makes me want to break into this Cole Porter routine:
You're the top!
You're the Colosseum.
You're the top!
You're the Louvre Museum.
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss
You're a Bendel bonnet,
A Shakespeare's sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse!
You're the Nile,
You're the Tower of Pisa,
You're the smile on the Mona Lisa
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!
You're the top!
You're Mahatma Gandhi.
You're the top!
You're Napoleon Brandy.
You're the purple light
Of a summer night in Spain,
You're the National Gallery
You're Garbo's salary,
You're cellophane.
You're sublime,
You're turkey dinner,
You're the time, the time of a Derby winner
I'm a toy balloon that's fated soon to pop
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!
Too much? Not at all. A mere turkey dinner wouldn't have covered it.
All the best
Andreas
