Villa d'Est is the winery owned by Toyoo Tamamura, which marks its 20th anniversary this year.
Released in this milestone year is this third installment of the Tamamura-style recipe & essay series.
Mr. Tamamura's motto is "If it's not enjoyable, it's not a meal." The book introduces recipes that enliven such delightful dining tables where "The food eaten is always the same, and the dishes prepared don't look any different, yet it's neither living off the earth nor a spartan meal of one soup and one dish, but rather gathering together while laughing and joking around."
In addition, while Mr. Tamamura has published around five recipe books so far, this book is the first to feature more food photographs than essays.
"Every day is the Last Supper" still continues day after day.
