ISBN: 9780761145264.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the author of the international bestseller In and Out of the Garden and the wondrous sketchbook Sara Midda’s South of France comes a long-awaited treasure of a book. Drawn from the artist’s wealth of impressions and memories, it is a book for lovers of food and art and fine gift books―a book for anyone who, upon arriving in a new town, seeks first the local market, or who believes the best thing to do on a given night is to share a table with friends.\n\nSara Midda is a watercolorist whose delicate and beautiful paintings shine like jewels, evoking the sweet purple taste of a summer raspberry or the silvery greens and gnarled burnt umber of an olive grove. And she is also a collagist, weaving together photographs, line drawings, her personal swatches―all the hues of a spice cabinet, or the sensations of a picnic, the colors of the breeze, sunshine, laughter, the cooling grass. And a poet, in love with words that sing, like podding and wicker, nettle and snug.\n\nBy turns reverent and playful, A Bowl of Olives is a work of pure enchantment, celebrating food―of the seasons, of family, of travel and memory. It is as richly layered as a favorite meal.\n\nThe book is cloth-bound, jacketed, and printed on uncoated stock to convey the feeling of an artist’s sketchbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Workman Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44893591535669,"sku":"ByrdShop_0761145265","price":155.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780761145264_df7bfeab-c6ec-4e76-a7b3-a9cf653d33f8.jpg?v=1784150173","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-bowl-of-olives-on-food-and-memory-9780761145264","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
