It may be raining outside, but that doesn’t mean we can’t dream of sunnier climes. It doesn’t take much but the photography in Helen Tsanos Sheinman’s new book, Love, Laughter and Lunch certainly puts us in the holiday mood, with its celebration of the culinary and interior style of Cyprus.
‘Food is nothing without the love of the people who share it,’ says Sheinman, who reconnected with her family heritage to create a book that’s part-memoir, part-travel journal and part recipe book.
It’s not all food, there are plenty of droolworthy interiors shots, too.
Love, Laughter and Lunch, £28, is available from Anthropologie and online from April 22.
