After another bestselling year in 2011, the much-loved Foodies' Diary returns in 2012. This stunning diary for food lovers provides inspiration on what to eat and cook based on the best fresh produce available each month of the year. It includes all the features of a good diary as well as beautiful colour photography, over 60 delicious recipes, wine tips and a guide to food and wine festivals around Australia.

From breakfast in a provencal garden with warm baguettes and flaky croissant, to a connoisseur's antique shop in Paris known for it's period treasures, the elegant French Country Diary 2012 presents the glory of France in 52 intimate vignettes. Author Linda Dannenberg and French photographer Guy Bouchet continue the beloved tradition of the French Country Diary, a perennially popular week-at-a-glance engagement calendar, with a new year of evocative images. This year we discover a romantic autumn garden in a palette of purples and blues at a chateau near Compiegne; a dream-like Medieval village perched on a hillside in the Bouches-du-Rhone; and the candle-lit Christmas table in Burgundy with a tureen of foie gras as a mouth-watering center-piece. Here are the luminous colours, the poetic landscapes, and the luscious flavours of France to savor from week to week.

This calendar features a selection from the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ significant collection of Japanese prints which comprises around 850 works. Showcasing eight prominent woodblock printmakers, the selection conveys the imaginative power of Japanese artists in depicting the beauty of Japan’s various ‘famous places’ (meisho) in different seasons and weather. It also affords a glimpse into the history of Japanese woodblock prints from the mid 18th to the 20th century.
