What is the flavor of sunshine? The taste of forest green? Does the red of a pepper evoke the warmth of its spice? Cook Color reveals a whole new way of thinking about food. Author Maria Zizka introduces readers to ideas from color theory and cooking sciences, explaining how to master food styling and cooking techniques to enhance and preserve color, without any artificial additives. But cooking by color isn’t just about looks; it is an approach that draws connections between aesthetics, seasonality, and flavor. Arranged in a gradient, the recipes begin with creamy shades of white—from a coconut cod and rice bowl to a garlicky bean and cauliflower salad. Yellows evoke the bright flavors in Margarita Bars, reds bring forward fiery tastes in dishes like Mapo Ragù with Rice Cakes, and greens highlight fresh and herbal flavors with dishes like Matcha and Mint Ice Cream Sundae or Zhoug-Marinated Feta and Fava Toasts. Blues, purples, and blacks present revelations: a butterfly pea flower boa stuffed with blue oyster mushroom, a classic Italian grape focaccia turned on its head with the addition of purple ube, and elegant black tahini cookies. To tie it all together, Zizka presents a special section of Color Menus, where she teaches readers how to use food to create palettes that evoke a sense of season, theme, or even a place: a Valentine’s menu decorated with red and pink indulgences, a spring menu featuring all fresh flavors and pastel tones, a seafood-focused menu of blue and coral hues to conjure a tropical ocean vibe. Cook Color is a celebration of eating beautifully and creatively, at any moment and for any occasion.

Quick answers:

What is an overstock book?

Overstock happens when publishers print too many copies, or when a store returns books back to the publisher. Overstock allows us to offer splendid titles at a fraction of the retail cost!

What condition are overstock books in?

Overstock books are new books! They sometimes have a small mark to indicate that they've been remaindered. Other times, they might exhibit signs of shelf wear, like mild scuffs or leftover retail stickers. If we receive a book that isn't in good condition, we set it aside and don't sell it.

Do you accept returns?

All our books come with a money back guarantee. If for any reason you aren't happy with your purchase, just let Nicholle know (help@bushelandpeckbooks.com) and she'll issue you a full refund. No need to mail books back, either! Just donate them to a good cause and we'll call it even :)
