My dear readers, I hope you are all
doing well and are getting back to your 'normal' life bit by bit.
Since we are currently not allowed to travel I'll bring you a little
closer to our island today through a short presentation of the
beautiful coffee table book Mallorca – Mar i Muntanya that I have been gifted.
About the Book
Awarded the German Photo Book Prize
19|20 as gold winner in the coffee table books category, the
high-quality photo book Mallorca – Mar i Muntanya takes you on a
journey to the biggest Balearic island through beautiful photographs
by Antonia and Alexander Feig. The two German photographers have
managed to capture the pure and poetic essence of our island. What I
love about their photo book is that it shows the traditional and
cultural Mallorca far from tourist hotspots. Puristic food stills,
epic landscapes, organic agriculture, impressive architecture,
contemporary street photography and portraits of Mallorcans who
represent the island, fill the large-format, 264-page book. As its
subtitle "Images, Thoughts and Recipes" states, the book
comprises captivating pictures, narrative texts and recipes.
Furthermore, you can experience
Mediterranean moments of indulgence while cooking the island's
typical recipes, which can be found throughout the five chapters of this
illustrated book alongside puristic food photos. You are invited to
try the typical coca pastry or traditional almond cake Gató among
others. The book also includes a unique map of the island, hand-illustrated
by the graphic designer Sandra Kubitza.
Mallorca – Mar i Muntanya is mainly
written in German but for international readers there is a chapter
with a translation section in English. The turquoise-colored,
decorative book makes a great eyecatcher on your coffee table and
brings maritime lifestyle into your home. It is available in German
bookstores, on Amazon and on the website El Mallorquín, which
promotes the sale of products from the island in Germany, as well as
in the center of Palma at Rialto Living (C/Sant Feliu, 3).
I was so happy when Antonia and
Alexander sent me the book because you all know how much I love my
Mallorca and also cooking. I have a big collection of coffee table
books at home and this beautiful book is a great addition. If you know anyone
who adores Mallorca as much as I do or someone who likes to try
Mediterranean recipes, Mallorca – Mar i Muntanya is a unique,
high-quality gift for all fans of the island and the Mediterranean
lifestyle.
