Book Description

A must-have for professionals from the world of designers, architects, graphics and publishing Green with envy; red-faced with embarrassment; in a blue mood; or in the pink: Color "speaks" well before words. And Pantone is the renowned authority on color and color communication, known to artists, designers, art directors, businesses and students around the world. Central to their understanding of color 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 color and mood to the subject of food. Fifty-six step-by-step recipes are gathered around eight colors and their variations, including: Yellow (Tarte Citron); Magenta (Sea Bream Tartar with Rose Petals); Green (Savory 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 color expert on that color's mood-food connection. And each recipe is styled to perfection and photographed in Pantone's full-color glory.
