cxiv. the fat duck cookbook, heston blumenthal and other contributors
as i have doubtless mentioned before i am a big fan of heston's curved eyewear. he actually gives away all his recipes. i flicked through similarly brick-shaped tomes from ferran adria and noma and they are significantly, significantly lighter on technical detail. i guess that's what heston loves doing.
cxv. a cook's tour, anthony bourdain
take-home message (i hate this conferencey fixture of a phrase): vietnam has pride, man. and alcohol is everywhere. the world is addicted to alcohol.
cxvi. summer blonde; and cxvii. shortcomings, adrian tomine
i like! i like the depressing inconclusive endings and overall cynical tone. and mostly i like the clean lines and easily recognisable characters.
cxviii. complete essex county, jeff lemire
also good, i liked the transitions between times and generations and the linking themes, also the familial facial characteristics. it seems to have much more of a freehand style without getting too cluttered and pencil-liney.
