More from The Dog Chapel

Don't worry: No animals were harmed during the making of the images; instead, their extreme flexibility can be chalked up to some very effective digital trickery. The results are silly and curious all at once, and the inherently humorous pictures are complemented by information about the poses and some funny and punny canine meditations. 45 color illustrations, 112 pages, 7⅞×7⅞", paperback.

production – from the spectacular eighteenthcentury chintz bed hangings found in some of the most affluent homes in the country, to complete and sometimes controversial examples of contemporary art practice. Drawing on some of

the finest collections and archives in the country, this groundbreaking book documents the fascinating history of British quilt-making. For the first time contributors reveal the hidden histories and personal narratives of some of the most evocative objects in the V&A’s collection. From the origins of the ‘love poem’ on the Chapman marriage coverlet to the sources of inspiration for the intricately pieced pictorial ‘George III coverlet’, this publication repositions quilts as complex, multi-layered windows into their makers’ worlds. Published to accompany a major exhibition, Quilts 1700–2010: Hidden Histories, Untold Stories includes a lavishly illustrated, comprehensive catalogue, four contextual essays, and individual feature spreads that challenge the assumption that stitching is simply ‘women’s work’.

In this magnificent volume, the second in the Grand Livre de Cuisine series, celebrated chefs Alain Ducasse and Frédéric Robert comprehensively cover the art of making desserts, pastries, candy, and other sweets. Everything is here–mousses and fondants; cookies, cream puffs, sweet rolls, and cakes; ice creams, sorbets, and granités; bonbons, nougats, and caramels; fruit tarts, profiteroles, and sweet soufflés and crèpes. The book’s 250 mouth-watering recipes, chosen from the dessert menus of the outstanding restaurants with which Ducasse and Robert have been associated, range from traditional treats such as peach melba, candied apples, and œufs à la neige to audacious concoctions such as tropical fruit– stuffed ravioli, chocolate pizza, and coconut-encrusted lollipops. Decidedly French yet international in flavor, the book presents the authors’ masterful takes on American cheesecake; Italian cannolis, zuppa inglese, and tiramisù; and the Austrian confections known as viennoiseries. Organized by category (plated desserts, confections and chocolates, teatime treats, and so on), the Grand Livre embodies Ducasse’s philosophy of cooking and baking, which holds that culinary techniques should accentuate and enhance an ingredient’s true nature–not mask it. Handsomely styled and enticingly illustrated, the book features more than 650 color photographs, including a full-page, closeup photo of each finished dish. Cross-sectional drawings clearly display the internal “architecture” of some of the more complex creations.

The Szyk Haggadah

New!

Freedom Illuminated By Arthur Szyk, with translation and commentary by Byron L. Sherwin and Irvin Ungar Arthur Szyk created his magnificent Haggadah in Lodz, on the eve of the Nazi occupation of his native Poland. There is no Haggadah like it, before or since, filled with sumptuous paintings of Jewish heroes and stunning calligraphy. This edition, the first since 1940 to be reproduced from Szyk’s original art, boasts a newly commissioned and extremely practical English text by Rabbi Byron L. Sherwin, ideal for use at any family Seder, and a special commentary section that gives insight into both the rituals of the Seder and Szyk’s rich illustrations. The Szyk Haggadah will transform the Seder, bringing the story of the Exodus from Egypt into a more contemporary light. 50 color illustrations, 128 pages, 9×11".

Monkey See, Monkey Draw By Alex Beard

The Jungle Grapevine

There is a mysterious, dark cave in Africa that a troop of monkeys never venture into. One day while playing a game with Elephant, their ball rolls into the cave. The cave is covered in paintings, so they begin to create their own. But then they squabble over whose painting is the best. Elephant has a different way of looking at it: “It’s not a game to win or lose. Just have fun.” 48 pages of color illustrations, 8½×12".
