Pictures | Thoughts | Recipes

Hardcover, linen binding, portrait format 24 x 30 cm, 264 pages

Geo Saison writes "A book like a star buffet: Antonia and Alexander Feig serve pictures and thoughts about the island of the Mallorcans, peppered with recipes that whet your appetite for the island. Gold Winner at the German Photo Book Prize 2019 "A dream made of paper..." Sometimes you have to make books because they are missing... Turquoise blue like the sea and white like the sea spray: The illustrated book MALLORCA - MAR i MUNTANYA by Antonia and Alexander Feig brings a Mediterranean attitude to life into the home. On their trips to the popular Balearic island, the photographer couple visited locals who represent the self-confident Mallorca. All encounters and conversations with the protagonists shape the view of the two food and travel photographers. They show the results in MALLORCA - MAR i MUNTANYA. The illustrated book shows 264 pages of puristic food stills, epic-looking landscape shots in subtle colors, contemporary street photography and also characterful portraits of people. The subtitle "Images | Thoughts | Recipes" refers to informative text passages on food culture and lifestyle as well as recipes for cooking typical island dishes. Reduced word-image games invite you to think further. For the international readership there is a chapter with an English translation. The graphic artist Sandra Kubitza presents the imagery in a clear layout that sets its own rules and allows exceptions to them. A lovingly hand-illustrated map gives the reader orientation on the island. The hardcover book with linen binding was artfully finished by hand with white paint in screen printing. This printing technique makes each copy unique. The elegant thread stitching in the interior in black is perfectly coordinated with the concise typography. All production steps in the production, from the layout to the letterpress with a screen-printed title finish to the bookbinding work, were carried out in Germany. Mallorca - MAR i MUNTANYA, a decorative coffee table book. An illustrated book, reading book and cookbook for island aficionados and connoisseurs. ...

The Mallorca Collection team says: 5 stars!

The high-quality book is a true declaration of love for the island, its people and its cuisine. It impresses with its fascinating attention to detail and high quality. It almost completely dispenses with text and instead lets us dream with short statements. The typical island dishes are beautifully photographed and the recipes score points with their authenticity. A very special book for special island moments.

We absolutely recommend it as a high-quality gift and especially for your own coffee table.

Casual island feeling at its best!
