Описание: The remarkable chess sets featured in this volume span time and history, chronicling the story of the game and its design with exemplary pieces from the author's collection, as well as others from museums around the globe. Chess Masterpieces considers chess through the dual perspectives of art and history. For instance, in Islamic countries the taboo against figurative representation led to the familiar abstract shapes we recognize as the traditionalA" chess set.

Local materials and techniques also influenced design, as demonstrated in the ivory, alabaster, and clay chessmen found in Africa. Among the upper classes of Europe, commissions resulted in sets executed by the workshops of Wedgwood and Waterford in England, Limoge in France, Meisen and Villeroy Boch in Germany, Murano and Capodimonte in Italy, and Faberge in Russia. Chess is a war game, and this volume will feature some of the most notable sets created to commemorate battles and historical conflicts such as Waterloo, both World Wars, the Punic Wars, the Ghibellines and the Guelphs, the Crusades, and the American Revolution.

Also reproduced here are a Chinese ivory set of incomparable complexity and workmanship; the famous Lewis chessmen, one of the earliest known examples of European chess design; Egyptian sets made of glass, ceramic, alabaster, and rock crystal; and modern sets created by major artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Alexander Calder, Damien Hirst, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Yayoi Kusama, Paul McCarthy, and Maurizio Cattelan.

Описание: How to make cakes that are as delicious to eat as they are beautiful to behold. Karen Krasne, the "Queen of Cakes" according to Gourmet magazine, brings a fresh and contemporary sensibility to special-occasion cakes. Instead of the conventional fondant and gum paste, she relies on natural frostings based on chocolate, cream, or butter (which are also easier to make). What makes these cakes showstoppers is their unexpected flavor combinations-take, for example, the Blood Orange Ricotta Torte, the Chocolate Tiramisu, or the Yuzu Tea Cake. These desserts take full advantage of layering-contrasting textures in each bite-as seen in the New York, New York (chocolate ganache, devil's food cake, chocolate chantilly, and caramelized apples) or the Beau Soleil (mascarpone mousse, peaches, pralines, and honey-soaked pound cake). Krasne favors vibrant touches like fresh fruit and real flowers, which add flair without being fussy. The recipes include tips from her twenty years as a pastry chef, and a step-by-step introduction covers basic techniques. Extraordinary Cakes shows how to create amazing cakes that satisfy sophisticated palates-but are still achievable for the home baker.
Some of the luscious cakes included are Toasted Macadamia Caramel Cheesecake, Shangrila (Guava Mousse, White Chocolate Mousse, Fresh Strawberries, Pound Cake), Vallarta (Key Lime Cream, Whipped Cream, Tequla-Infused Genoise), Marco Polo (Vanilla Mousse, Blackberry Gelee, Tea-Infused Cake), Chocolate Nirvana (Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Cream, Chocolate Cake), King Kamehameha (Coffee Mousse, Chocolate, Mocha Pralines, Chocolate Cake), Beau Soleil (Marscapone Mousse, Peaches, Caramelized Pralines, Honey, Pound Cake), Blood Orange Ricotta Torte, Carnaval (White Chocolate Banana Truffle, Chocolate Mousse, Rum), Caribe (Banana, Mango, Passion Fruit, Chocolate Cake), Tortamisu (Marscapone Cream, Espresso-and-Rum-Soaked Cake).
