QuickviewApartamento Cookbook #8
Gift Guide, Magazines & PhotobooksAbout the book Tuber, or Not Tuber? THAT is our question. In this year’s annual Apartamento cookbook, we’re taking Shakespeare’s famous lines from Hamlet way underground and asking ourselves, What even is a tuber? Where past cookbooks nod directly to pantry staples, spices, or sweets, Apartamento Cookbook #8: Tuber, or Not Tuber? engages readers in the ‘to be, or not to be’ of the culinary world, answering with recipes that draw on a range of root vegetables. A teasing ‘Tuber Check’ accompanies each recipe, gamifying the standard cookbook and introducing readers to an array of subterranean treats, tuber or not. In dishes from James Beard Award winner Corey Lee, Noma flavour scientist Arielle Johnson, royal baker Claire Ptak, Oaxacan flagbearer Thalia Barrios García, and visual artist Motoyuki Daifu, among others, tubers and their kindred stems take the form of fresh salads, fried enyucados, or cool horchata. Swiss Design Award winner Olga Prader brings the book to life with her playful illustrations, taking us deeply, delectably underground. Apartamento will donate 20% of profits generated by this book to The Enriqueta Villavecchia Private Foundation for Child Oncology. Apartamento Cookbook #8: Tuber, or Not Tuber? Drawings by Olga Prader Featuring: Aimar Córdoba, Alice Moireau, Anna Sulan Masing, Arielle Johnson, Carlos Alfonso, Claire Ptak, Coralie Jouhier and Daquis Gomis, Corey Lee, Maria Haddad, Motoyuki Daifu, Nic Dowse, Niram Watthanasit, Rosie Healey, Sally Grainger, Thalia Barrios García, and Vadim Otto Ursus.

This captivating compilation of photographs taken between 1960 and 1990 provides a fascinating glimpse of a time that is familiar and yet different, when significant changes started to affect the city and its suburbs. For many readers, this book offers a chance to indulge in rare memories of growing up in our unique city. As historic city buildings were demolished and streetscapes altered, Melbourne embraced modernity. The skyline grew, and so did suburban shopping centres. Under the impact of a rapidly rising population and large-scale migration, the city’s distinctive and vibrant culture that we know today began to emerge. Cafés, fashion, sport, architecture, infrastructure, technology and even the law were all transformed. Adapted from the highly popular ‘Old Vintage Melbourne’ Instagram account, this collection allows us to behold iconic sights and scenes — some as they were, and some as they still are, generations later.$55.00$55.00 -
