One hundred and twenty-five cookbooks from the past hundred years, treated as objects and as ideas rather than as recipes. Here Mastering the Art of French Cooking sits next to The Astronaut's Cookbook and Dalí's Les Dîners de Gala, and each one has, in its own way, shaped or upended how we cook at home. Florian Böhm and Annahita Kamali treat the cookbook as a genre worth studying, meaning design, photography, and publishing history matter just as much as content. If you already have a shelf full of cookbooks, this is the book that explains what you've actually been collecting and why they look the way they do.
