There's a reason Noma sits atop the list of the world's best
restaurants. Every bite, every dish, every course surprises,
delights, challenges, and deeply satisfies in a way that's unique
in the world of dining. As the New York Times's Pete Wells wrote
recently in praising Noma's flavors, "sauces are administered so
subtly that you don't notice anything weird going on; you just
think you've never tasted anything so extraordinary in your life."
In Noma 2.0, Rene Redzepi digs deep into the restaurant's magic
through the creation of nearly 200 dishes, each photographed in
spectacular beauty and detail. Noma 2.0--the title is a reference
to the reinvention of Noma after it closed in 2018 to move to its
new compound across the water--is about true seasonality, from wild
game in the fall to just-picked peas in the summer. It is about
using only local ingredients, to build a cuisine that is profoundly
situated in its place and culture. It is about transforming the
ordinary--a mushroom, a chicken wing, often through
fermentation--to develop haunting, memorable flavors. It is about
composing a plate that delights the eye as much as the palate,
whether through the trompe l'oeil of a "flowerpot" chocolate cake
or a dazzling mandala of flowers and berries. It is about pushing
the boundaries of what we think we want to eat--a baby pinecone, a
pudding made of reindeer brain--to open our palates with a
startling confidence. And it is about how to stay creative and
challenge yourself over the course of a career. For foodies, for
chefs, for artists and art lovers, for thought-leaders and makers,
and for the kind of reader who is compelled by the idea that
sometimes one person can change everything, Noma 2.0 is the gift
book of the season.
A squeaky toy was possibly the first toy to grab your attention
when you were a baby. For centuries parents have cooed, clucked
their tongues, or softly whistled to entertain their babies.
Rattles of all shapes and materials have had their places as
attention-getters, but during the 1940s the rubber, and later,
vinyl squeaky toys became the most diverting toy of all. Early
rubber squeaky toys were a simple ball with just a hole or a metal
whistle disk inside. Later, reed devices were developed to generate
different sounds. After the 1940s, soft, pliant vinyl plastic
replaced rubber. Today, people can avidly search for the hundreds
of colorful rubber or vinyl squeaky toys that were produced by many
companies large and small. These simple and diverting toys are now
getting the attention of collectors around the country. Squeaky
Toys is richly illustrated with over 300 color photographs and is
complete with a current price guide.
