Mission:Explore Launch Party

We're very excited about our very latest and forthcoming book: Mission:Explore Food.
This will be our fourth book, and this one was crowd-sourced. It's been put together by Dan, Helen and Tom, with contributions from other collective members, including myself of course.
Having seen the proofs I can say that it will be awesome....
