This second book in the ground-breaking On the Table series about the culture of gastronomy as artistic expression - edited by Charlotte Birnbaum - delves into the art of napkin folding. It features German master Joan Sallas, whose folded napkins graced the Metropolitan Museum"s exhibit of 1780 Viennese royal table silver. (Watch him fold a ""water lily"" napkin on YouTube.) Birnbaum interviews Sallas on the history of napkin folding, stretching back to the Renaissance and Baroque, and contributes a short essay on the art"s complex history; the remainder of the book is an illustrated catalog of Sallas"s ornate folding techniques. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Beauty of the Fold: An Interview with Joan Sallas (On The Table Series) (Joan Sallas)
