Marjorie Taylor, Kendall Smith Franchini, Jess Thomson

A gorgeous cookbook about living well the French way from the founders of the Cook’s Atelier, a cooking school in Burgundy, France

French at Heart shows how to create simple, joyous family meals around your own table, in whatever place you call home.

When mother and daughter duo Kendall Smith Franchini and Marjorie Taylor moved to Beaune in Burgundy, France, to open their now-incredibly popular cooking school the Cook’s Atelier, they learned that choosing to appreciate tiny moments more mindfully, like they saw the French do, really opened their hearts.

To them, being French at heart doesn’t mean you have to speak French or live in France; it means slowing down enough to enjoy the little details of every day. Whether that’s preparing a meal for your family and taking the time to enjoy it together around the table or taking an extra moment to set the table with fresh flowers, curating your own joy is worth your time, and this cookbook offers plenty of ideas for ways you can adopt this particularly French habit in your own life.

These are classic recipes that will make you fall in love with things like Salade Niçoise, Duck Confit, and Tarte Tatin.

They are simple recipes, what Taylor and Smith Franchini often cook for their family after a long day, and reflect their take on familiar French favorites. They offer ways to adapt, improve, or simplify classic recipes, along with plenty of additional advice on how to serve a memorable cheese or charcuterie board, curate a French-inspired pantry, start your own kitchen garden, or get the most out of your local farmers’ market.

Creating meaningful moments around meals and sharing them turns out to be quite contagious—and exactly why people love coming to see Taylor and Smith Franchini at their cooking school. Cooking is about more than just the food, and while French at Heart has more than 100 go-to recipes, it is a cookbook for anyone who wants to discover those little details that make our time around the table even more special.

★ “French from the Market is a seductive cookbook that will convert readers into Francophiles and inspire almost everyone else to start composing menus and market lists.” ―Foreword Reviews, Starred Review

This newest cookbook from Hillary Davis focuses on the best of traditional French cooking―provincial cuisine based on produce and foods fresh from the market, simply prepared, and delicious for everyday dining at home.

Hillary Davis shows us in French from the Market that French food isn’t always haute cuisine. Traditional, daily French cooking is provincial and farm-driven. It is also an art, that uses the freshest and finest ingredients available from gardens, markets, and local vendors to put nourishing meals on the table. And, as Davis point out, French home cooking is not hard. The 100 plus recipes for starters, soups, salads, fish, poultry, meats, vegetables, and desserts in this cookbook, along with detailed instructions and tips, prove her right.

Embrace at-home cooking, French style, with these market-fresh recipes: Arugula Salad over Watermelon with Herbed Goat Cheese; Weeknight Halibut in Basil Cream with Cherry Tomatoes; Autumn Harvest Chicken with Grapes, Apples, and Figs; Broiled Lamb Chops with Warm Potato and Herb Salad; Fluffy Cauliflower and Cheese Quiche; and Fruity, Frosty Cantaloupe Sorbet.

More Accolades:

“[E]ncouraging instructions make even more complex dishes seem simple, including the…ingenious ‘beef on a string with horseradish sauce.’…This accessible approach to everyday French fare will appeal to cooks at all skill levels.”―Publishers Weekly

“A chicly styled, easily accessible guide to French home cooking.”―Library Journal

“Directions are fairly uncomplicated, and color photographs portray finished dishes with a zing.”―Booklist Magazine

Author Elizabeth Way and Elena Romero, Foreword by Slick Rick

On a hot summer night in August of 1973, DJ Kool Herc and his sister, Cindy, put on a “back to school jam” in the rec room of their apartment block at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the West Bronx. The rest is history. The birth of hip hop rippled out across the globe, influencing music and fashion for generations.

Fresh Fly Fabulous: 50 Years of Hip Hop Style draws on the experiences and memories of those who were there, from a foreword by Slick Rick, to interviews with Disco Fever club owner Sal Abbatiello and designers Dapper Dan and April Walker, to chapters from Vibe stylist Emil Wilbekin and former editor of The Source Kim Osorio. Topics cover the range of hip hop’s influential style over the past half century, tracing the evolution from early hip hop style, born of aspiration, individuality, and practicality to contemporary fashion steeped in luxury brands.

Hip hop style is a local story, told through spotlights on Times Square as an early fashion space, as well as an international phenomenon, shown in the prominence of hip hop fashion leaders on red carpets. Inventiveness, the art of the remix, and a diverse set of influences are consistent themes in sections that examine hip hop style from hair and nails to shoes and sneakers.

Fresh Fly Fabulous is the definitive source for hip hop style, brought to life by the groundbreaking photographers who captured it firsthand, including Janette Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, and Ernie Paniccioli.



About The Author

Elizabeth Way serves as associate curator at The Museum at FIT and author of Black Designers in American Fashion. Elena Romero serves as assistant professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology and is a correspondent for CUNY-TV's magazine show LATINAS. Slick Rick is an iconic rapper, producer, and trendsetter whose hip hop classic with Doug E. Fresh "La Di Da Di" (1986) helped establish hip hop’s love affair with fashion.

Frida Kahlo: The Masterworks

Author Roxana Velásquez

A rich overview of the fascinating life and career of internationally renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), this volume features the artist’s complex and diverse paintings, a series of thoughtful essays about her and her oeuvre, and a detailed illustrated chronology.
As a woman artist who confronted many taboo subjects—and herself—head-on, Kahlo produced groundbreaking work that shifted the terrain of the art world. In these pages, new high-resolution photographs present the most accurate reproductions ever of her visionary artworks, including many ravishing details. That astounding fidelity and the detailed analysis of the artist’s life and process combine to make this a must-have book for Kahlo’s legions of fans worldwide.

Readable and illuminating, Frida Kahlo is illustrated with rarely seen paintings from private collections alongside iconic favorites, including many of Kahlo’s striking self-portraits and her sensual still lifes. Archival and personal photographs, insightful descriptions of her works, and numerous excerpts from her intimate diaries and letters provide context and imbue Kahlo’s work with additional meaning. Authors Héctor Tajonar and Roxana Velásquez—the world’s foremost authorities on Frida Kahlo—deftly untangle the many threads of Kahlo’s complex persona. Kahlo was a charismatic force. Fiercely political and proud of her Mexican heritage, she maintained a dense network of romantic and platonic relationships, including two marriages to fellow artist Diego Rivera. But her childhood illness and the tragic accident she suffered as a teenager left her physically vulnerable. Understanding that duality is key to fully appreciating Kahlo’s extraordinary work. With this deeply researched, stunningly designed volume in hand, readers can do just that.


About The Author

She has garnered international recognition as an expert on Frida Kahlo and for organizing major exhibitions, including Frida Kahlo 1907–2007 as well as National Homage (which attracted a record-breaking 420,000 visitors) at the Palace of Fine Arts in 2007.

Maria De Campos is a Portuguese painter born in 1977. She currently lives and works in Paris. Maria De Campos graduated from the Regional School of Fine Arts of Valencia. It was in Valencia where she became passionate about expressing herself through visual arts, particularly contemporary images. Maria's painting is influenced by several diverse styles, ranging from Pop Art to Expressionism. Maria is particularly fascinated with famous people from the 20th century. Maria’s work satirizes and celebrates materiality and celebrity. On the one hand, her paintings of distorted celebrities faces could be read as a critique of what Maria views as a culture obsessed with money and fame. On the other hand, the paintings suggest a life that celebrates cultures throughout the world.

In her imagery and repertoire of celebrities, Maria De Campos wants to break the stereotypes that people can have about these personalities. The faces are treated with melancholy and poetry, dissimulated behind raw color and text fragments. Her pieces are undeniably contemporary and topical. Maria’s work has been on display in various shows and is in permanent collections of corporations and collections throughout the world.

Author Didier Ottinger

George Condo’s unconventional paintings are illuminated in context with his vast range of artistic influences—from Tiepolo to Picasso to Basquiat, and from psychedelic to new wave.

George Condo is renowned for his eclectic mix of artistic influences—from the Old Masters to cubism to pop art. The artist who coined the term “artificial realism” blends imagery and styles from various movements in works that critique contemporary Western culture and its excesses. His paintings and sculptures feature Humanoids—figures that are metaphors of our humanity, magnifying our emotions and revealing our high and low points. For the first time in his own words, Condo reveals the genesis and significance of his distorted creations and unveils previously unseen paintings created during the pandemic and the political turmoil in the United States.

Didier Ottinger examines the career, influences, and works of this unconventional artist who is at once rewriting the history of art and caricaturing the immoderation of the modern world. An exhibition of Condo’s Humanoids at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco opens nearly a quarter century after he created set and costume designs for Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo.

About The Author

Didier Ottinger, general curator of heritage and specialist in modern and contemporary painting, is assistant director of cultural programming at the Centre Pompidou where he curated exhibitions on Edward Hopper (2013), David Hockney (2017), and Georgia O’Keeffe (2022).

Exhibitions of his work have been shown in New York, London, Rotterdam, Berlin, Venice, Shanghai, and more. H.R.H. the Princess of Hanover is a philanthropist.
