Beyond the Plate: Top Food Blogs from Around the World, Daniela Galarza, Prestel, 2017.
Lab Noon (Saghar Setareh) is among 30 diverse food bloggers featured in this richly illustrated book that includes recipes for all occasions and palates. Blogs such as My Darling Lemon Thyme, Indian Simmer, Local Milk, Lady & Pups, Hortus Cuisine, and Twigg Studios among others, effortlessly guide readers through the latest global food trends from curry noodle soups to sweet tahini pastries. While the bloggers themselves hail from every corner of the world—Brooklyn to Slovenia, Helsinki to Hong Kong—their recipes, tips, and personal stories are universally appealing to anyone interested in food.
