Weddings, Butterflies & The Sweetest Dreams

"When there's a lot going on, it is the simple things in life that are the most powerful." - Bonnae Gokson. Butterflies Weddings & The Sweetest Dreams is not a cookbook, but a visual feast, exploring the ingredients, ideas and inspiration behind the works of edible art through lush photography shot on location in Hong Kong - the home of Bonnae Gokson's cafes and restaurants - and internationally. The ruffles of a petticoat. The petals of a delicate peony. Rolls and rolls of satin ribbons in a dozen shades of red. The startling purple hue of taro at the market. The juicy citrus cells of a pomelo, the jewel-like seeds of a pomegranate. Fragrant ripe raspberries at the height of their perfection. The gold lustre of a butterfly's wing, glimpsed and then gone. AUTHOR: Bonnae Gokson is immersed in the world of luxury fashion, lifestyle and hospitality. Hobnobbing with the most influential designers of our time, such as Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Missoni, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Dries Van Noten, Yohji Yamamoto, Christian Louboutin and the late Alexander McQueen has honed her unique aesthetics and keen sense of style.

With inimitable creativity and flair, she founded her burgeoning empire of ultra-glamorous hotspots including SEVVA restaurant, chic C'est la B cafe/bar, and scrumptious Ms B's Cakery in Hong Kong to international acclaim.
