Some soft spoken rambling and exploration of various books and media from the long history of Star Wars...

I visited Amsterdam for the first time last autumn and enjoyed it immensely. There are a some touristy spots, sure, but it's so easy to just wander around and enjoy the city and all its wonderful details - especially thanks to all the suggestions and recommendations you left me back then!

Today we can only have a cursory glance at the centre and its history, just enough for you to hopefully drift off. We'll look for where the initial dam was constructed, follow some of the canals, and find some of the highlights of the city.

The book in the video is "A Millenium of Amsterdam. Spatial History of a Marvellous City" by Fred Feddes - an equally marvellous publication! If you like maps and old photos, do have a look at it.

For a version with video, please have a look at my youtube channel.

Though in fairness, are there any cookbooks from the 70s that aren't at least a little strange? This one's a collection of 100 famous recipes from all over the world, mixing both Haute Cusine and rustic meals, and presenting them in a whole new format: through colourful photos.

I've been super fascinated both by the selection and the manner in which the dishes are shown. There really is a kind of wonderful strangeness to it.

Book: Roland Gööck, Die 100 berühmtesten Rezepte der Welt.
