For a person who loves food and wine, and also loves a good book, then there’s nothing more appreciated than having one that is beautifully designed, printed in high quality, and with lovely photos and an engaging story to tell.
Here are two great books that meet this desirable level.
Sri Owen Indonesian Food
by Sri Owen (Author), Kim Lightbody (Photographer)
Printed on 304 pages of thick, high quality paper stock and illustrated with mouth watering photographs, both present and historical, Sri Owen’s Indonesian Food is the definitive guide to one of the world’s most ancient and diverse cuisines. As a leading authority on Indonesian cooking, Sri Owen shares over 100 delectable recipes, ranging from everyday staples to dishes for festive occasions, all presented with clear instructions and enriched by captivating introductions that highlight their cultural and regional significance.
The book is thoughtfully divided into two parts: the first explores the role of food in Sri Owen’s life and Indonesian culture, complemented by recipes that bring these narratives to life. The second part delves into the essential ingredients, techniques, and modern adaptations of Indonesian cooking, offering practical tips on substitutions and availability, alongside detailed recipes and variations. Meticulously researched and drawing from generations of culinary tradition, this book is an invaluable resource for any cook eager to explore the rich tapestry of Indonesian cuisine.

Rosé Revolution
by Rasmus Emborg (Author), Jens Honoré (Author)
Rosé wine has firmly established itself as the “third wine category,” offering a versatile bridge between red and white wines, perfect for almost any occasion or meal. Its broad appeal spans from casual drinkers to seasoned enthusiasts and dedicated wine connoisseurs, fueled by its growing popularity, market presence, and increasing recognition that shows no signs of slowing down.
Motivated by the lack of focus on rosé from prominent wine critics and writers, and inspired by a gap in the market for a comprehensive narrative about rosé, the authors traveled the globe to meet the winemakers driving the Rosé Revolution. From pioneers who laid its foundation to innovators who sparked its meteoric rise, each producer shares a compelling story that adds depth to the rich tapestry of rosé’s modern-day resurgence.
As Sacha Lichine, creator of the world-renowned Whispering Angel, aptly puts it: “From the beginning, the idea was to make rosé into real wine. Everyone looked at us like we were completely crazy. I guess we were.”
We in particular like the profiles and interviews with various Rosé winemakers and experts. With 13 visually stunning chapters filled with breathtaking photos and illustrations, Rosé Revolution is an essential addition to any wine lover’s collection. As lifelong wine enthusiasts, authors Rasmus and Jens celebrate every aspect of rosé—its history, flavor, charm, and irresistible allure—all coming together in perfect harmony.
