2001: Filming the Future by Piers Bizony

Description

Slow cooking is the culinary equivalent of stopping to smell the roses. During the week most of us opt for a quick and easy meal, but the weekend should be celebrated and enjoyed with a complete change of pace. This introduction to a new movement in the kitchen guides the way. It includes a mixture of traditional and modern recipes, chosen to reflect the pure enjoyment of cooking without time constraints. An original photograph illustrates each recipe, while photographs of the antique show more kitchenalia seek to further evoke the mood of an aroma-filled kitchen. show less

This is a beautiful, large format book filled with photography, essays, interviews and more related to the making of Stanley Kubrick's famous film, "2001: A Space Odyssey". Considering there are many books devoted to the films of Kubrick and particularly this film, this is quite possibly the best place to start -- along with Jerome Agel's "The Making of 2001" -- if you are interested in the more visual aspects of the film: special effects, film making, and behind the scenes. The photographs are stunning, the articles are incredibly well researched, and the overall scope of the book is broad and throrough. This book is one of the prized volumes in my film library.
