A Spoonful of Sun captures Mediterranean ease through the rhythm of the seasons. Pauline Chardin brings together simple, creative, mostly vegetarian recipes made with local ingredients.

But the book goes beyond cooking, exploring everything that makes a meal special: from changing landscapes and natural table settings to hand-crafted ceramics and delicate floral arrangements. A warm and atmospheric cookbook filled with beauty, generosity, and Mediterranean light.

Book publishing is actively and constantly reimagined by Gestalten. An extensive range of titles that not only enriches the reader's life, but also promotes ongoing engagement with the surrounding creative landscape.

Gestalten’s origin story began with a focus on the aesthetic, particularly that of graphic design and, over the last two decades, the scope of both its content and its expertise has widened. 

Today, using a myriad of observations of culture, people, art, and other intimate, inspirational informants, Gestalten documents and anticipates vital movements in architecture, visual culture, design & fashion, escapism, food & beverages, travel, and contemporary art.
