David Bailey's loving homage to his wife, in Polaroids taken over nearly 40 years.

For the past 38 years, David Bailey (born 1938) has photographed his wife Catherine using Polaroid film. Developing organically over the decades, a book grew with no specific purpose in mind. The result is this visual poem, a witness to their working collaborations and personal adventures. In Bailey's words: "The years went by with great ease and charm. I have been lucky to have such a willing and beautiful subject in my wife and partner in this adventure we have shared together. It came about not by making a plan. All my good ideas seem to happen by accident. My books start with a vague idea, then grow into something I never knew ... the average Polaroid takes a few minutes to develop. This book has taken nearly 40 years."

Look Again - The Autobiography

Leurs chemins se croisent un soir de 1965, chez Castel. Amanda Lear, étudiante aux Beaux-Arts, est en même temps un mannequin qui vit entre Londres et Paris. Elle devient rapidement l'égérie du maître de Cadaqués, sous l'oil mi-jaloux mi-complice de Gala, l'épouse légitime, dont on ne saurait contester le pouvoir. Amanda se souvient de la cour fastueusement baroque du seigneur catalan, de la fantaisie provocatrice des sixties-seventies, de leur folle créativité et de la décadence qui s'annonce, tandis que défilent des personnages hors du commun parmi lesquels Marcel Duchamp, Brian Jones, Andy Warhol, Malraux, Picasso et bien d'autres... Mais on découvre aussi dans ces pages le Dali intime, ses terreurs et ses manies, sa générosité, son amour de la vie, avant qu'une pénible agonie ne l'abandonne à des vautours qui l'éloigneront de ses vrais amis, commercialisant son nom comme une lessive et vendant des faux à tour de bras. Mon Dali : un hommage sans concessions au génie disparu, et l'évocation émouvante autant que fantasque d'une relation ambiguë qui n'en fut pas moins une histoire d'amour.

Mon Dali

A 'wholefood' is a food that has been processed or refined as little as possible and is free from additives or other artificial substances. David and Charlotte Bailey serve only nutritious wholefoods from their street-food van, Wholefood Heaven, as they tour the country and travel worldwide in search of recipes and inspiration for new and exciting flavours. Their food is informed by the need to live well and be both mindful of and uplifted by what you put in your body.

 This book is a celebration of naturally healthy, unprocessed ingredients and flavours from around the world. Featuring over 60 recipes for wholesome vegetarian and vegan meals, including breakfasts and drinks, many of the recipes are presented as easy-to-eat bowl-food (all the nutrients you need for a healthy meal in one), or can be cooked in a single pot (ideal if you are away holidaying or camping at a festival).

 Featuring plenty of information on the benefits of grains, cereals, pulses, nuts, seeds and fruit and veg, the recipes offer a full range of enticing meals, drawn from an international repetoire. Start the day with delicious Quinoa Porridge with Vanilla-Spiced Almonds and Dates, move on to a lunch of Coconut and Sweet Potato Polenta Cakes with Wild Mushrooms and Asian Greens, and finish the day with an Ethiopian Teff and Butternut Squash Stew, or Yucatan Salbutes, finished off perfectly with a dessert of Spelt and Olive Oil Lemon Cake.

 This mouthwatering array of recipes will be the only inspiration needed to live a healthier lifestyle.
