From the beaches to the farms and produce stands, from mansions to humble cottages, from sparkling backyard pools to lush gardens and manicured lawns, this insider's tour allows the reader a glimpse of a quieter side of the Hamptons. Often lost in the fray of traffic, shopping, and partying, the Hamptons revealed in these pages is a place long beloved by artists, writers, and those seeking respite from the rigors of the city. Through Meisel's gorgeous photography and the authors' personal, conversational text, the essence of the Hamptons is vividly conveyed. We see the surf caressing the sand as a white-hot sun kisses the water's edge; wisteria vines wending its way across the facade of a tiny cottage; wide open fields of perfectly plowed rows of potatoes wrapping around a huge red barn; a majestic mansion overlooking the bay; a gate, slightly ajar, reveals the interior of a well-groomed garden; a yellow table and chairs is set beside a velvet-purple lavender garden, so inviting for a bit of reading and an ice-cold lemonade. Perusing these images, it's easy why the Hamptons continue to draw people to come for a vacation...or to stay forever.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49645114130705,"sku":"GOR012675343","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49783475601681,"sku":"GOR003751099","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50468959977745,"sku":"CIN0810943328G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51330207252753,"sku":"CIN0810943328VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0810943328.jpg?v=1751170548"},{"product_id":"new-york-sweets-book-susan-meisel-9780847839612","title":"New York Sweets","description":"A tour of the city’s best dessert-makers, complete with recipes. The Big Apple is a city of sweets. Think about all the classic desserts that were made famous here: cheesecake, black-and-white cookies, the Broadway milkshake. Visitors from around the world make pilgrimages to bastions of butter and flour such as Magnolia, Ferrara, and City Bakery. And today there is a renaissance of young sugar-minded artisans who are crafting exquisite confections with fair-trade chocolate, organic gelato, and sea-salt caramel—many coming out of Brooklyn, and selling from street trucks. Paging through New York Sweets is like walking through a candy shop, where the design and packaging is often as beautiful as the desserts themselves. The book also functions as an inspired gastronomic tour guide—one skewed toward plenty of breaks for sweets. Each chapter walks through a different neighborhood, giving a sense of the melting pot of flavors that can be found only in New York—from apple strudel and baklava to turron and zabaglione. The recipes reveal the secret techniques behind such delights as Cherry Brownies (Baked), Crack Pie (Milk Bar), Icebox Pie (Billy’s), Macarons (Payard), and Crème Brûlée Doughnuts (Doughnut Plant). As in other realms of culture, so many trends start in New York. This book gives the scoop on all the treats that everyone is buzzing about.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50011395129617,"sku":"CIN0847839613G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51421078028561,"sku":"GOR006761202","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0847839613.jpg?v=1751044001"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-susan-meisel.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
