Eat Me: Appetite for Design



This looks like a fun coffee table book that includes fun food, interesting packaging ideas, restaurant interiors & exteriors, food-based art projects, tabletop wares, and more.  The book itself looks like a wafer biscuit with a bite taken out of the corner.  I've seen a couple of good reviews for this new book since it was released in January.

Here is how the publisher, Victionary, so eloquently describes the book:
"Eating is no longer a pure experience of smell and taste but rather an effective agency to communicate and engage, an indication of cultural values, lifestyle, artisanship, criticism, aspirations and imagination this present day.

While no single aspect of food and the associated can epitomise the new food culture, EAT ME takes out a slice of modern life where food has been taken as the medium to promote social interactions and ginger up our every day. In addition to the highly competitive realm of food packaging design, the book also features a symphony of recent art creations, social events, identity projects, restaurant designs, culinary implements and products inspired by food. The substantial showcase is complemented by fascinating insights in their forewords and case studies given by experts, entrepreneurs and practitioners, each distinct with regards to their experience in product, packaging, image-making, branding and spatial design."

And, it's only $26.37 on amazon.com:
