THE OTHER KITCHEN / Books

Books

Our publishing house stamp was born in 2002 with the objective of publishing gastronomic caprices and, thus, to defy the beauty of the white page. We publish particular books which reflect the vital adventures in which we are engrossed.

Gastronomy takes several forms in our catalogue and collections to represent the usual genres we like the most: narrative, the happy text, illustration and photography.

Besides, a reasonable rhythm of publication allows us to take care of the edition and the spreading of our books, giving them the attention they deserve. IXO editorial aims to spread and make use of the knowledge generated after many years of hard work to honestly offer the best gastronomic literature one can find.

We also collaborate on editorial projects outside our label, providing different visions and creating new formulas to reach different places and people, beyond culinary literature. This is the case of El Gourmet Extraterrestre, a book that discovers other gastronomic cultures through a journey around the world, or the book "Cocinar, comer, convivir", an essay by Andoni Luis Aduriz and philosopher Daniel Innerarity that reflects on such diverse issues as the anthropological meaning of food, the art of cooking and the contradictions of globalisation applied to the field of food.

In April 2012, Phaidon Press published the first book of Mugaritz in english: Mugaritz A NaturalScience of Cooking. This book has been published also in spanish (RBA) and dutch (Kosmos).
