A Tale of Two Agents: Chapter Eight
“Ice-cream is exquisite. What a pity it isn't illegal.”
― Voltaire
“There are only three things women need in life: food, water, and compliments.”
– Chris Rock, American comic
Whatever your position on food, the universal appeal of meals and recipes shared is a topic that binds us all and which evokes memories that transport us to another time and place. It seems that most of us won’t be meeting at the sausage stands outside of Hall 6 again this year, but we all remember special evenings shared with friends and new acquaintances following long meeting days. Several such meals over many book fairs lead to our representation of Interlink Books, renowned for their stunning cookbooks that highlight dishes from around the world.
For a closer look at their beautiful cookbooks, we encourage you to visit Interlink's "shelf" in our Virtual Frankfurt Booth.
We are also representing The Food of Oman by award-winning journalist Felicia Campbell whose media career began after a life-changing experience serving in the military in Iraq. She earned her masters degree in culinary anthropology at NYU and went on to work as travel editor/research chief at Saveur magazine. She is now the Food, Dining and Nightlife Editor for The Arizona Republic (USA Today Network).
Burma: Food Family and Conflict describes the history of current day Myanmar through the lens of a family torn by conflict and enriched by the food and culture of their ancestry.
In case Viennese cooking appeals to your market, yours truly now celebrates the 10th anniversary of The Viennese Kitchen (New Holland Publishing / Interlink Books). German rights are free again, but free of Frankfurt specialities we all know and love!
Of Stone Bridge Press’s Eating Wild Japan, high praise has come from The Japan Times: "Eating Wild Japan satiates the mind, providing a detailed exploration of Japan’s intricate, ever important food culture."
The Happy Sandwich (Familius, recently licensed to Sigma Books in Korean) presents a straightforward approach to creating gourmet versions of one of the world's most versatile comfort foods.
We also have several new books for cooking with children including Interlink’s Fairy Tale Feasts series (Arab, Jewish, Chinese) which combines food and culture with stunning artwork.
Our Virtual Frankfurt Booth is now up and running with an easily navigable guide to our noteworthy new titles. We will see you, informally, in the booth and in our remote meetings soon.
Happy Fall!
Allison & Monica,
Your DropCap Rights Team
