The Fruits of Empire

The Tradescants' Orchard
In the early seventeenth century there was eager interest, among the leisured classes, in fruits from the Mediterranean and beyond, not least for the kitchen gardens and orchards of England's grand houses. The volume of charming, vibrant, almost primitif watercolour paintings of orchard fruits on the branch, popularly known as 'Tradescants' Orchard', is a precious and fragile relic of this era of broadening horticultural horizons.This manuscript, traditionally associated with the renowned plantsmen, the John Tradescants, was among the eclectic collections of Elias Ashmole (1617-1692), which came to form the basis of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.

Fruit Art
Fruit Art raises eyebrows, satisfies the senses and thrills everyone who adores beautiful books. It is filled with delicious recipes that don't require too much time in the kitchen, photographs that push the creativity envelope and edgy styling and design. Fruit's first claim to fame was as an object of seduction, and nothing much has changed since Eve tempted Adam with that apple. Just as Malcolm Dare's extraordinary portfolio of photographs of fruit-with-the-female-form tempted Lannice Snyman to join him in creating this unique book. The result is an inspired melding of talent, where freshness and spontaneity are given full reign. The recipes range from breakfast, through tea time, soups, salads and an array of main dishes that feature seafood, chicken, pork, lamb and beef. Not to mention a clutch of delish desserts and other after-dinner delectations. Fruit Art is a book to cook from, to browse through, to give to someone special as a gift - or to keep and to treasure forever!
