• We’re looking forward to Wild Kitchen: Nature-Loving Chefs at Home, a forthcoming cookbook by Claire Bingham from Thames & Hudson featuring a glimpse inside the home kitchens and gardens of 20 food personalities—from David Tanis to Judy Williams and Rita Sodi of Via Carota—who are leading the way in sustainable cooking.
• On our reading list: JB Blunk, by his daughter Mariah Nielsen (and designed by Åbäke), a comprehensive, first-ever monograph of the work of the Inverness, CA-based artist. To order a copy, go to Permanent Collection (and to see more, go to Blunk House: Inside a Master’s Sculptural Homestead, Hewn by Hand, in Northern California).
• The 43rd annual SF Decorator Showcase launches its first-ever virtual event on Saturday, August 29, 2020.

N.B.: If conditions allow, in-person tours are tentatively scheduled for August 29th through September 27th.
