A note for 2012 including details of new offerings...
With the dazzling array of options available for the creation of illustrated content, and with a market place that is ever more complex, Quadrille is relishing the opportunities that these challenges present, and within this heady maelstrom, we offer one of our most impressive lists, as varied as ever, as innovative as ever, as exquisite as ever, and as saleable as ever!
Starting the year...
The people at johnson banks guestblog for us:...
One of the oddest projects we did last year and already rocketing up the best-seller lists came out over the break - a manual for sorting your life out in 2012 called Instructions for happiness and success*.
Taking its visual cues from car manuals, mind maps, 1960s diagraphics and airport signage, we’ve created a fold-out, open out, flip flapping extravaganza. Just at the first...

Okay, here’s a theoretical situation for you.

How about some chocolate truffles?

Elizabeth Peyton Jones, author of Eat Yourself Young guest blogs:
New Year can be a brutish time, what with the beating up of self over what you’ve not achieved in the past year and all the empty promises – usually over a glass of wine and slice of banoffee pie (never a good combination) – to make tough resolutions to change the way you are.
To get the best out of the New Year, I always advise...

Patch! Try some portable, pretty, patchwork...
by: Katie Allen
Photos: Pia Tyrde
Portable and pretty, patchwork is no doubt one of the new biggies in craft - literally, in fact, as it can be used for both small projects to double-bed-sized ones.
Cath Kidston’s contemporary-yet-traditional, vintagey style is perfect for patchwork, and its “sister craft” applique, so her new book Patch is a real treat.
As well as sewing basics,...

Alyson Walsh on the new Celia Birtwell book
Celia Birtwell’s book
feels totally Celia Birtwell.
More of a family album than a traditional fashion tome, it maps out the legendary designer’s amazing career and bohemian life with a fabulous collection of archive prints, fashion sketches
and fascinating personal photos.
Written by Dominic Lutyens, I found the text to be warm and friendly and a perfect reflection of Birtwell’s...

Enjoying your Fish Responsibly
This guest blog comes from Sarah at Food for Think
Over the last few years, mine and I’m sure a lot of others attention has been brought to the sensitive issue of overfishing, which is happening in seas all over the world. This in turn has lead to a huge shortage of certain species. Celebrated chefs have done their part in educating the masses about which species should and shouldn’t...

The Birthday Cake Book Reviewed by thelittleloaf
thelittleloaf discovers why with Fiona Cairns’ new book, The Birthday Cake Book, you really can have your cake and eat it.
As someone more than slightly obsessed with cooking and eating, I love how special occasions are marked by what we consume. Think of a birthday or party you’ve attended in the last year or so, and (often in addition to copious amounts of alcohol) most likely there was some...

A Fine Art by Sarah Lisle
In the preface of The Gentle Art of Cookery,
Mrs Leyel explains what makes her book stand out from the crowd. The most striking of these is the statement that the “recipes are arranged in the only practical way, that is, under their principal ingredients”.

French Fancy by Sarah Lisle
Xavier Marcel Boulestin wasn’t a trained chef but a home cook; he just loved and understood food. Food and cooking were a huge part of his life and he had a great affinity with it as a result of growing up in France, learning to cook and appreciate food from his mother and grandmother.
As a result, the recipes in Simple French Cooking for English Homes
are all about simple, tasty, cheap,...

Having only visited two cities in Scandinavia (Copenhagen and Stockholm) my knowledge of the regional cuisine is meagre at best, limited mostly to gravadlax, herrings, meatballs and smørrebrød (all of which I love). Trina Hahnemann’s beautifully presented book sheds light on the clean flavours of Sweden, Denmark and Norway, through simple recipes that take a modern slant on traditional...
