Hue

It seems like there are so many great design books coming out this season, but the one that I'm most excited about this one due out November 15th:

Here's a glimpse at what you'll find inside:

It looks like Hue is filled with LOTS of color and over the top design, and while I'm not sure how livable some of these spaces are, the images are certainly inspiring and can be viewed as works of art themselves. This book is sure to be adorning coffee tables and bookshelves everywhere (including mine).

What's cooking

I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I love the fresh design of this cookbook...

Not only would it look fabulous sitting on my kitchen counter, but I'm sure it has some really great recipes in it, too.  Vefa's Kitchen has been called "the first comprehensive bible of Greek food" and contains over 700 recipes of traditional mediterranean cuisine.  I like the simplicity of the mediterranean diet, they stick to basic ingredients such as olive oil, legumes, fruits & vegetables, nuts, cheeses, and more fish than meat in most of their dishes.  That's my kind of food!
