Bar Brutal: A Cookbook of Revelations<\/em><\/strong> is a publication dedicated to the history of Bar Brutal<\/strong>, one of the venues that best represents Barcelona’s new natural wine scene. Founded in 2013 by Max<\/strong> and Stefano Colombo<\/strong>, Joan Val\u00e8ncia<\/strong> and Joan Ramon Escoda<\/strong>, the bar has become a meeting point for winemakers, sommeliers, chefs and wine professionals, while helping to shape a new way of understanding wine culture. The book has been published by Apartamento Publishing<\/strong>, a publishing house renowned for its projects related to design, gastronomy and contemporary culture.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More than a cookbook, the publication offers a collective portrait of Bar Brutal<\/strong> and the community that has grown around it. The volume features 26 recipes by chef Mathieu Perez<\/strong>, testimonies from more than eighty contributors connected to the worlds of wine, gastronomy, music and culture, as well as photographic essays by Adri\u00e0 Ca\u00f1ameras, Nacho Alegre<\/strong> and Yago Castromil<\/strong>. Edited by Madeleine Willis<\/strong>, former editor of Apartamento<\/strong> and a regular at the bar, the book combines recipes, photography, archival material and personal stories to document more than a decade in the life of this Barcelona institution.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Nexe Impressions<\/strong>, we managed the graphic production of the volume, which combines Coral Book Ivory and Creator Star papers from Torraspapel<\/strong>. The endpapers are produced on Arena Ivory Rough by Fedrigoni Paper<\/strong>, while the cover is wrapped in Novalite Emotions by Winter & Company<\/strong>. The printing combines different colour configurations, including CMYK, one Pantone<\/strong> ink and one black ink, adapting to the book’s various editorial contents. The cloth-bound hardcover binding<\/strong> features a rounded spine<\/strong>, headbands<\/strong> and two red ribbon bookmarks<\/strong>. The project is completed with foil stamping<\/strong> on the cover wrap, spine and back cover.<\/p>\n
