JB Classics, Tonight at Sneaker Pimps

Remember the new JB Classics line we showed you here and here? Well they're finally available, starting tonight at Sneaker Pimps NYC. There will also be a few new models unveiled... So get there early and bring some cash because these will be gone quickly.
Umbro and Kim Jones for Fantastic Man
by Josh Rubin
Starting 13 October and running for a month, a series of Polaroids by Behnaz Aram, Gert Jonkers and Kim Jones will be on exhibit at Beneath. The Stockholm based show has been created in collaboration with Kim Jones for Umbro to launch the second issue of the new gentlemen's fashion magazine Fantastic Man and the photographs are created by members of all three parties. The subjects include journalists, musicians, models and others the photographers admire, each clothed in Umbro by Kim Jones.
13 October – 13 November 2005

Homegrown Pure and Simple
by Evan Orensten
Chef Michel Nischan is a source of inspiration for me as both a cook and someone passionate about food (especially organically raised food), family and friends. His new book, (with the help of formidable food writer Mary Goodbody), Homegrown Pure and Simple is a wonderful combination of his love for his mother and her simple garden cooking, his experiences and skills as a world-class chef, and his desire to cook healthfully.
These three desires connect with the reader and in the kitchen. Many of the recipes are simple to prepare and don't take up half of your day. They are a reflection of what's fresh--either in your garden or at the local market--and emphasize natural flavors over complexity. The book is well-designed, the recipes easy to follow (especially if you have a juicer on hand), and has some beautiful photography.
Try the Skillet Pork Roast, the Skillet-Browned Broccoli and Cauliflower, and the Watermelon Lemonade. And if you're not familiar with his first book, Taste Pure and Simple, check it out. It's a favorite resource of mine.
