All the Stuff We Cooked: 49 recipes
available at actualsource.org

Welcome to the updated edition of Frederik Bille Brahe’s sold-out first cookbook, All the Stuff We Cooked, born of that strange moment when we all learnt what it was to go into lockdown for the first time. From the confines of our respective homes, we came up with the idea of publishing this book in the same spirit of simplicity and integrity that we find in Frederik’s cooking, and from there it was a question of inviting the Japanese artist Masanao Hirayama to add his unassuming linework alongside Frederik’s photos.

The result was All the Stuff We Cooked: 44 recipes for simple but thoughtful dishes, a taste of his internationally renowned restaurants in Copenhagen—Atelier September, Apollo Bar, and Kafeteria—and the cooking he does at home for his family. The response from everyone who bought the book and cooked from it was deeply touching, and for this new edition we’ve added in five more recipes: ‘some of the stuff we cooked that didn’t make it to the first edition’, or the proverbial cherry on top.

Dieter Rams: As Little Design as Possible
available at actualsource.org

As head of design at Braun from 1961 to 1995, Dieter Rams created some of the twentieth century’s most iconic objects. Rams’s life and work are indelibly linked to his thoughts about how people live, and how they can live better.

Products he designed in the 1960s are still produced and sold today, and his ideas on good design continue to inspire designers and consumers. Now available again with a stunning new cover, this comprehensive monograph, with a foreword by Jonathan (Jony) Ive, former chief design officer of Apple, explores not only Rams’s life and work, but also his design philosophy.

The book includes detailed text covering Rams’s life, the intellectual context in which he worked, his designs for Braun and Vitsœ, and the ideas and lectures he developed as an advocate for good design. Sketches and photographs of finished products and prototypes provide insight into Rams’s design process, diverse archival material gives a complete picture of his life and work, and specially commissioned photographs of Dieter Rams’s house and the Braun archive provide an exclusive glimpse of the world’s most complete collection of Rams’s designs.

Known for the hundreds of iconic products he designed for Braun and Vitsœ, this comprehensive and exhaustive monograph also features Rams’s only architectural work and the ideas about living sustainably embodied in his ‘ten principles’.

Statement and Counter-Statement (Notes on Experimental Jetset / Volume 1)
available at actualsource.org

Back by popular demand, this is the third reissue of the first monograph on the work of Dutch power trio Experimental Jetset. Presenting almost two decades of graphic design praxis, it is more a loose personal archive than a monolithic tome. The book features essays by Mark Owens, Ian Svenonius, and Linda van Deursen, plus two photographic chapters with a selection of the studio’s work, covering both printed matter and the documentation of site-specific pieces and installations. It also includes a glossary-like anthology of texts (fragments of interviews, lectures, correspondence, etc.) written by Experimental Jetset and selected, edited, and structured by Jon Sueda.

Boards Of Canada: Inferno (Deluxe Double LP)
available at actualsource.org

After thirteen years of silence from the compound, during which anticipation has grown day by day, Boards of Canada finally return. Inferno retains their signature melodies and atmospheres, drawing on the esoteric influences explored in Societas X Tape (their 2019 NTS mix for Warp Records’ 30th anniversary) and the darker ambience introduced on Tomorrow’s Harvest, further deepened by an expanded role for speech soundbites.

Spanning seventy minutes, the new album is available on special edition limited red translucent 2LP vinyl in triple gatefold sleeve with a 16-page booklet, black 2LP vinyl and CD with 20-page booklet.
