The second volume in VIE’s series of luxury coffee-table books, COOK, is a culinary collection of everything delightful in the kitchen. The Idea Boutique worked with world-renowned chefs and restaurants, expert interior designers and architects, and luxury developments in the Northwest Florida area to serve a fresh presentation of food and beverages. By hosting photo shoots and maintaining correspondences and relationships, COOK is a masterpiece culmination of taste and is almost ready to join its sister publication HOME on the shelves.

In 2020, The Idea Boutique and VIE released its first luxury coffee-table book, HOME: Inspirations for Home and Life by VIE®. The photographic tome celebrates stories of talented architects, builders, and interior designers throughout the COLA 2 COLA® region, as there are many. The book also includes “pause pages” throughout, featuring local landmarks, events, past VIE highlights, and restaurants.

The latter is what inspired this second coffee-table book, COOK: Cocktails. Cuisine. Culture. The hardcover picture book is a love letter to the incredible world-class chefs, restaurateurs, event planners, and culinary teams who bring the zest of life to this region we call home and millions of others call their home away from home each year. From the old favorites that vacationers visit time and again to the new kids on the block, we can’t deny the dining and cocktail scene in the area is unforgettable—particularly the twenty-ish-mile stretch in Walton County, home to the affluent Scenic Highway 30-A. We welcome you to join our table as we sip, savor, and celebrate on a culinary tour of this coastal paradise!
