The Kitchen Studio - Culinary Creations by Artists

The Kitchen Studio - Culinary Creations by Artists is a delightful book that explores aesthetic expression through the culinary imagination and creativity of a collection of international contemporary artists. The book contains a variety of exciting personal recipes shown through the artists' own words and images. Creativity is not exclusive to an artist's studio, but for many it continues into the kitchen. More than 70 artists, including Ghada Amer, Jimmie Durham, Studio Olafur Eliasson, Subodh Gupta, Nikolai Haas, Jeppe Hein, Carsten Höller, Dorothy Iannone, Ragnar Kjartansson, John Lyons, Philippe Parreno, Nicolas Party, Zina Saro -Wiwa, Tiffany Sia and Rirkrit Tiravanija, have been invited to share and illustrate their own recipes, each of which become uniquely expressive dishes. The result is an exciting range of meals and drinks, both sweet and savory from around the world's cuisines, brought imaginatively to life by a variety of sketches, photographs, collages, paintings and personal images. Many of the culinary creations included can be achieved by adventurous home cooks, but the pages contain an incredibly diverse range of dishes from the conceptual to the personal, the elaborate to the simple, the sweet to the savory, and from the serious to the funny and the downright bizarre (no recipe for Dali's Lobster Phone, however). With an introduction by globally acclaimed chef and art enthusiast Massimo Bottura, this is an exciting and entertaining gift for foodies and contemporary art enthusiasts alike. Double the nerdiness and highfalutin', with plenty of (carbon filtered) water left over for anyone who already thinks we at KitchenLab can be a bit pretentious!
