Combining Pleasures Cookbook
Combining Pleasures is a coffee table art book, with recipes.
Each book is a 100% Canadian product. Printed and bound in Calgary, Alberta.
Combining Pleasures was conceptualized and created by Patricia Hrynkiw-Waye. It is meant to draw us in to taking time to admire the variety of pleasures in life. Music, reading, the way light falls in the garden, the sound of sugar landing on baking.
All of the art is hand drawn. Each recipe designed to delight the senses, be simple to prepare, and satisfying to enjoy.
Combine the pleasure of fascination to detail with delectable adventures in cozy culinary hygge.
Hygge: The Danish concept of coziness and little pleasures.
