The Artists And Writers Cookbook

As I’ve said before, I always find the most interesting or thought-provoking things at Maria Popova’s site Brainpicker. A few days ago she unearthed a rare 1961 book that is perfect for lovers of literature, art, and the melding of all that with cooking…

The Artists’ and Writers’ Cookbook is a collection of personal, food-related stories with recipes from 76 contemporary artists and writers. Inspired by a book from 1961, The (original) Artists' & Writers' Cookbook included recipes from the likes of Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Marianne Moore, and Harper Lee. 8 Cookbooks Inspired by Artists. Like Monet’s Palate Cookbook: The Artist & His Kitchen Garden At. The recently published Artists’ and Writers’ Cookbook was inspired by the 1961 book.

The Artists’ and Writers’ Cookbook (illustrated with 19th-century engravings and original drawings) features 220 recipes and 30 courses by 55 painters, 61 novelists, 15 sculptors, and 19 poets, including the likes of Marcel Duchamp, Harper Lee, Irving Stone, and John Keats.

The National Science Foundation funds and manages the U.S. Antarctic Program, which is devoted mainly to scientific research and education in support of the National interest in the Antarctic. The program’s research and support infrastructure enables access to much.
  • The Artists’ and Writers’ Cookbook October 7, 2016 by Jacqueline Raposo On a good day, I wake at 6:30am, while New York City is still shrouded in darkness and deep in sleep.
  • With 'The Artists' and Writers' Cookbook: A Collection of Stories With Recipes,' editor Natalie Eve Garrett has compiled a collection of cross-genre literary recipes from more than 70 of today's.

Some offer serious recipes, while others riff on the assignment. In it you’ll find the omelet recipe George Sand sent to Victor Hugo; Irving Stone’s view of the perfect writers’ lunch; Marcel Duchamp’s secret to steak tartare; and Anna Tolstoy’s (daughter of Leo Tolstoy, in dedication to her father) recipe for Russian mint cookies.

But really, how could you not be on board with a cookbook dedicated to “the art of imperfection” in the kitchen? That’s what real cooking is, after all. (For more on that, read Dana’s beautiful meditation.)
