Photographer Todd Selby is back, this time focusing his lens on the kitchens, gardens, homes, and restaurants of more than 40 of the most creative and dynamic figures working in the culinary world today. He takes us behind the scenes with Noma chef Rene Redzepi in Copenhagen; to Tokyo to have a slice with pizza maker Susumu Kakinuma; and up a hilltop to dine at an inn without an innkeeper in Valdobbiadene. Each profile is accompanied by watercolor illustrations and a handwritten questionnaire, which includes a signature recipe. Reveling in the pleasures of a taco at the beach, foraging for wild herbs, and the art of the perfectly cured olive, Selby captures the food we love to eat and the people who passionately grow, cook, pour, and serve these incredible edibles every day.

Praise for Edible Selby:
"Todd Selby has turned his curious eye to the kitchens of some of the world's most imaginative cooks, artisans, and foragers. Far too often, food and the people who produce it are hidden behind closed doors or lost in an industrial food system, so it's heartening to see this book champion those who have nothing to hide. With Todd's trademark good humor and disarmingly quirky style, Edible Selbyis a pure celebration of the creativity and authenticity of the wonderful individuals who are bringing real food to the table."
- Alice Waters, owner of Chez Panisse Restaurant
"Todd Selby's foray into the world of food is every bit as intriguing as his eccentric take on the world of interiors. Long live Signor Selby!"
