New Releases by Josh Katz

What does a man do when he wakes up without memories, beaten viciously, and imprisoned? Practice his new space wizard powers of course, fight other prisoners, piss off the wrong people, and flirt with women who want nothing to do with him. The truth is out there with what is left of his mind.

''Josh Katz cooks in technicolor. [There is an] interplay of smoke and cumin and paprika; of sugar syrups and rose and pomegranate; of great cuts of meat, and sturdy vegetables surrendering themselves to the fire.'' - Jay Rayner Eating vegetables doesn''t need to be boring. In fact, it can be the most joyful and satisfying way to eat. Fresh vegetables - paired with bold flavours and cooked with care - can be made the hero of every dish. In Berber&Q: On Vegetables, there are countless options for how to cook every type of veg, from a quick scorch in the pan and a flash of heat from the grill, to a low and slow roast, as well as methods for how to season and flavour using simple marinades, dustings of spice and deliciously moreish sweet and sour dressings. Taking inspiration from his travels, from London to North Africa and through to the Middle East, Josh''s flavour combinations are unusual and create memorable dishes that everyone will enjoy. And with conventional cooking methods included for every dish, there is no reason not to try something new. Featuring over 100 recipes, there are endless possibilities for how to transform everyday vegetables into delicious, easy to prepare dishes that don''t compromise on flavour.

This view of a life-altering moment in our history—captured from one photographer’s Brooklyn rooftop—is a testament to human hope and resilience, and what we’ve learned about living in community. The roof of a New York apartment building, like some New York neighbors, can be elusive—you could live there for years and never see it. The unique constraints of 2020’s quarantine drove photographer and Brooklyn transplant Josh Katz up to his Bushwick rooftop and introduced him to both. What he discovered there astonished him. Families, lovers, dogs, meditators, artists, exercise fanatics, daredevils, drinkers, dancers—in this strange time the world below had found a way to continue ticking on up above, subject to new patterns and distances. And then, there were the pigeon fanciers, who had been up there for decades, watching the neighborhood change around them. Josh reached for his camera. The project grew from a man’s attempt to cope with his own isolation to a tender portrait of his community—captured entirely from his own roof—and a resonant chronicle of how some of us found new hope and space in a life-altering year. Characters as heartfelt as any in the now-classic Humans of New York accompany Josh’s keen observations on urban space, human interaction, and new ways of city living we can bring down from the roof to apply in a post-quarantine world.

When NYC emerged as a pandemic hotbed, rooftops became our only respite from cramped apartments; our only escape into the outside world. Since the beginning of quarantine, I have spent hundreds of hours photographing the rise of roof culture from my rooftop in Bushwick, Brooklyn. This is a photo book about New Yorkers persevering through quarantine, photographed from my Brooklyn rooftop. 100% of profits go to Doctors Without Borders (MSF).

On the day Elainas life changed forever, her morning was like any other. She rose to the sounds of water rolling onto the beach and the cacophony of seabirds screeching, Good morning, Elaina! By the next morning, Elaina was an orphan, whisked away to London, England, to be raised by Beatrice and Avery Crawford. And as dark as the intervening night was, so too were Elainas memories of the once-glorious childhood as the much-loved daughter of Mirana, an elf, and Ventor, a vampire. You see, dear reader, for better or for worse, Elainas mind was enchanted by an all-encompassing memory spell, albeit temporary. Thus begins Book One of The Enchanted Destiny Chronicles: The Sword of the Sands written by first-time novelist, Josh Katz. Now, like many magical stories, the beginning goes back a long way. Our story goes back a long way, some six thousand years, when the forces of good defeated the forces of evil in a monumental battle. And as you continue to read Book One, and as Elainas memories begin to return, you will join Elaina and her newfound friends as they solve magical puzzles, battle creatures of darkness, fight in Bound Battle, and oh, so much more as they come face-to-face with their enchanted destiny while seeking The Sword of the Sands.
