VOLUME ONE: THE APPLE
Volume One unites over forty emerging and established talents from almost as many places: a gathering of distinctive local voices and wide-ranging knowledge, splicing ideas from food history to folk art, contemporary craft to ancient cultivation.
Architect Claudia Robalino invites us into her proposed settlement in the Ecuadorian rainforest, whilst writer Nancy Campbell shares the unfolding of seasons from her caravan, on a patch of Oxford woodland. Artist Annalee Davis delves into the botanical history of Barbados’ plantations, illustrator Lauren Doughty steeps herself in Greek folk art, whilst painter Yulia Iosilzon revels in the mythology of mushrooms.
Whilst closer to home – writer & naturalist Amy Jane Beer reflects on motherhood and wilding; in the company of musings from Lori de Mori, on her late-life vocation at the beloved Regent's canal Towpath cafe.
VOLUME TWO: THE OLIVE
Across five chapters, we wend through market stalls in Izmir, punt amongst the reeds of Iraq’s southern marshlands, climb the precipitous hillsides of the West Bank, and emerge into the light of Italy’s Victorian-era riviera.
Elsewhere, we venture for inspiration and nourishment: striking out with a foraging-map into the hinterlands of Marseille, or tracing New York City’s original recipe for olive oil gelato.
Photographer Emma Hardy offers a bittersweet lament to the diseased olive trees of Puglia, artist Dessy Baeva conjures the botanical folklore of writer Kapka Kassabova’s native Bulgaria, and Sicily-based cook Letitia Clark pens a love note to harvests past and present.
Soon we circle home to Edinburgh – finding comfort in the pebble-spirals of Jim Ede – before settling on the harbour side of Newlyn, on a salty-aired summer’s eve.
