Julie Biuso. Softcover. English. First edition. New Holland Publishers (NZ) Ltd (1 October 2003). In good condition. 160pp. ISBN-13: 978-186966027. ISBN-10: 1869660277. "Hot Nights, Cool Days" sees Julie Biuso combine her skills of food writing with her passion for description, resulting in recipes and writing that should take food lovers to new heights. Supported by Ian Batchelor's food photography, Julie is able to evoke the nuances of taste and smell and time and place through her well-honed instinct for ambience. The book is divided into themes that evoke a mood, rather than a specific season or time of year: Beach Days, Laidback Lunches and Brunches, Indian Summer, Stoking the Fires, Snuggle-up Suppers, Home Comfort and Sweetie Pies. The photography and design feature a vibrant palette of textures and tints that celebrates the colours of real food - from lush greens to hot pinks to subtle peach, complemented by the simplicity of plain dinnerware.
