About the book
Tuber, or Not Tuber? THAT is our question. In this year’s annual Apartamento cookbook, we’re taking Shakespeare’s famous lines from Hamlet way underground and asking ourselves, What even is a tuber? Where past cookbooks nod directly to pantry staples, spices, or sweets, Apartamento Cookbook #8: Tuber, or Not Tuber? engages readers in the ‘to be, or not to be’ of the culinary world, answering with recipes that draw on a range of root vegetables. A teasing ‘Tuber Check’ accompanies each recipe, gamifying the standard cookbook and introducing readers to an array of subterranean treats, tuber or not.
In dishes from James Beard Award winner Corey Lee, Noma flavour scientist Arielle Johnson, royal baker Claire Ptak, Oaxacan flagbearer Thalia Barrios García, and visual artist Motoyuki Daifu, among others, tubers and their kindred stems take the form of fresh salads, fried enyucados, or cool horchata. Swiss Design Award winner Olga Prader brings the book to life with her playful illustrations, taking us deeply, delectably underground.
We will donate 20% of profits generated by this book to The Enriqueta Villavecchia Private Foundation for Child Oncology.

About the (cook) book stand by Michael Marriott
This edition of the Fusilli (cook) book stand is a special Michael Marriott production for Apartamento, and is a play on the original’s stainless steel design. The same light wire construction folds flat to save space in the kitchen and can be easily stored alongside other utensils. For the first time ever, all new, flashy red rubber grips gleam as you page through our new Apartamento Cookbook #8: Tuber, or Not Tuber?. The Fusilli (cook) book stand suits both small and large books, and tablets, too! Made in Essex, UK. The special production featuring red rubber grips is available exclusively on the Apartamento website.
