La Figa: Visions of Food and Form is a book featuring a spectacular collection of sensual photography – models wearing nothing but the edible creations of James Beard award-winning chef Tiberio Simone. Using the human body as his canvas, and natural fresh ingredients as his paint, Simone’s elegant and tasteful nude images are the culmination of a five year collaboration with photographer Matt Freedman.
$39.95, 192 pages, Hardcover More Details
• Over 160 photographs • 20 Recipes • 40 Essays about food, love, and life
Freedman and Simone unite and celebrate two sensuous pleasures, two fundamental human appetites, in a way that elevates and glorifies both. You’ll never look at dinner or your lover the same way again.
Nationally syndicated columnist and best-selling author
Food is sensual, and La Figa is a feast for the senses. We build our bodies from nature, and it is only natural that the human form bonds with forms of food to build an erotic and tasty feast!
Chef, Restaurateur, and Author
