Little Tables: Breakfasts from Around the World

Description

From congee to kedgeree to rosti, Little Tables brings together 72 breakfast recipes from 32 countries on six continents. It makes it easy for parents to bring a world of taste into their family's mealtimes, helping to create shared memories of culinary and cultural discovery and fun. Little Tables is a collaboration initiated by successful South-African born photographer Vanessa Lewis, and features portraits put together by international fashion, food and hair stylists, and fun tidbits of information about each country. | Each portrait by Vanessa Lewis not only reflects the unique essence of the individual child but also a charming bite-sized morsel of culinary culture. -Anna Trapido, Food writer, Broadcaster, Author, Food culture enthusiast

Vanessa has been photographing food for the past 15 years and her camera has taken her from Shinjuku to Oaxaca to Paul Bocuse's kitchen. Travel and food assignments have allowed her to see and taste the world. Her family knows not to eat their food before she has snapped it on her iPhone and uploaded to her Instagram, a foodie's visual diary. She has photographed various cookbooks but this is her first time as author, where she enjoyed complete creative freedom to create a beautiful and functional cookbook with a difference.

This would make a nice gift for a child or family, to encourage some food adventures... Little Tables would be fun to work through over the course of a year of weekends, trying many of the wide variety of dishes, and making an occasion of the meal. -- Rachel Moore, Booksellers NZ
