Colorissima, embracing colors with Caroline de Benoist
Colorissima, Caroline de Benoist’s first book, is a joyful celebration of color, a veritable immersion in her artistic and culinary universe. Published by Hachette Cuisine on October 2, 2024, this book will appeal to art lovers and gourmet food enthusiasts alike.
In this project, Caroline de Benoist, accompanied by culinary journalist Leslie Gogois, proposes an original exploration of color through 40 recipes and as many carefully matched table settings. An invitation to transform every meal into a visual spectacle, where color becomes the common thread running through every creation.
A feast for the eyes
The book is structured into five chapters, each dedicated to a specific tonality: pink, green, yellow-orange, blue-purple, and finally, a multicolored chapter for the most daring. Under the lens of Emanuela Cino and the creative touch of Audrey Cosson, each page is a living tableau. The exuberant, sparkling compositions illustrate Caroline de Benoist’s talent for blending the art of the table with gastronomy.
Recipes such as scallop tartare with herbs, kiwi tart with matcha custard, or pink cranberry gin and tonic, reveal an unparalleled scope for creativity. Each dish is not only a taste experience, but also an artistic statement.
A colorful philosophy
In Colorissima, Caroline de Benoist shares her conviction that colors are much more than nuances. They are vectors of emotion and happiness, capable of transforming everyday life into memorable moments. As she so aptly puts it: ” Life has to be ‘colorissima’! A mantra that perfectly sums up the spirit of this book.
