About this product
Product Information
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. This new, vibrantly illustrated version includes stories and recipes from Anthony Doerr, Leanne Shapton, Joyce Carol Oates, John Currin and Rachel Feinstein, Ed Ruscha, Neil Gaiman, Edwidge Danticat, Aimee Bender, Gregory Crewdson, James Franco, Francesca Lia Block, Swoon, Nelson DeMille, Rick Moody and Laurel Nakadate, Nikki Giovanni, T.C. Boyle, Lev Grossman, Roz Chast, Heidi Julavits, Marina Abramovic, Curtis Sittenfeld, Julia Alvarez, and many others. In The Artists' and Writers' Cookbook , Anthony Doerr lures us out into the wild to find huckleberries and happiness. Neil Gaiman makes a perfectly eerie cheese omelet while Ed Ruscha associates his cactus omelet with "a time of doom." Yiyun Li eats rations in Beijing while Edwidge Danticat prepares a soup to celebrate freedom. Nelson DeMille reminisces about a meal he ate 40 years ago when serving in Vietnam; Kamrooz Aram recalls childhood "picnics" in his basement in Tehran during air raids. Sanford Biggers updates a soul food classic--"something tasty to lessen the bitter taste of consistent, systematic oppression." Paul Muldoon and Aimee Bender conjure food-related apocalyptic visions. Marina Abramovic shares a dish best consumed on top of a volcano, Elissa Schappell dreams of playing Serge Gainsbourg records to snails, and Padgett Powell tastes a dish that reverses time and space. Daniel Wallace woos with an eggplant sandwich. Francesca Lia Block tells us how to fall in love. The essays are at turns comedic and heart-wrenching, personal and apocalyptic, with recipes that are enchanting to read and recreate. One part cookbook and one part intimate self-portrait, The Artists' and Writers' Cookbook is a portal into the kitchens and personal lives of an unmatched collection of contemporary artists and writers.

" The Artists' and Writers' Cookbook is far from anything traditional and that's exactly what makes it so inspiring. There are proper ingredients and measurement listings, yes, but more important are the imaginative, artful narratives conjured up around everyday foods." -- Vogue.com "Very rarely have I found writing so consistently charming, or a book so unwaveringly lovable! This is an instant classic that all of us, readers and eaters that we are, have no choice but to absolutely adore." -- Porochista Khakpour, author, The Last Illusion and Sons and Other Flammable Objects "Proust knew what was what: Food is rarely just a meal, and memories are made over plates, in front of stoves, at tables, and, of course, in the mouth. This is a book of the best gustatory recollections--great writers and artists offering us their own personal madeleines. It's a delicious 76-course literary meal." -- Darin Strauss, author, Half a Life and Chang & Eng "The joy of Natalie Eve Garrett's charming cookbook isn't just in the recipes, it's in the personal vignettes attached to each dish--altogether funny, heartbreaking, and redeeming--from some of our most beloved writers and artists. Inside, you'll find recipes to be recreated, but more importantly, stories to be treasured. This is a book that belongs on your kitchen shelf as well as on your bedside table." -- Kevin Pang, James Beard Award-winning food writer "A who's-who of every artistic mind you're a fan of, all sharing deliciously intimate stories and even recipes, so you can literally ingest some of this book's brilliance." -- Michelle Tea, author, Black Wave and How to Grow Up "This book is the most rewarding and nourishing of Venn diagrams: story and food. Trust me--you will never see more beautifully-crafted, heartbreaking, or provocative first sentences in recipes; this is a cookbook that was meant to be read. I never knew I wanted Padgett Powell's gumbo recipe, or to read Sharon Olds' early ideas about food--but I did. You will find yourself in the night kitchen with Leanne Shapton and remote cabins with Anthony Doerr, reading rituals of healing and joy." -- Megan Mayhew Bergman , author, Almost Famous Women and Birds of a Lesser Paradise "The Artists' and Writers' Cookbook has the two best things: great writing and great food. In Natalie Eve Garrett's careful hands, neither one outshines or unbalances the other, and combined, they make for a smart, delicious, well-rounded book that you'll want to give to anyone who likes to read and eat or eat and read." -- Jessica Soffer, author, Tomorrow There Will be Apricots "The Artists' and Writers' Cookbook gives the reader the distinctly wonderful feeling of hanging out in the kitchen with some of the most interesting people writing and creating art today. Even if you're not a cook, this gorgeous book is a joy--you'll want to read it cover to cover. -- Gabi Moskowitz, author, The BrokeAss Gourmet Cookbook, producer of "Young & Hungry" on Freeform AS SEEN IN: Lenny Letter, Marie Claire Italia, The Hairpin, Brit + Co, Publishers Weekly, Hyperallergic, The Hairpin, Edible Brooklyn, The Kitchn, "A who's-who of every artistic mind you're a fan of, all sharing deliciously intimate stories and even recipes, so you can literally ingest some of this book's brilliance." --Michelle Tea, author, How to Grow Up "The culinary and the literary are my two greatest loves, so Natalie Eve Garrett's The Artists' & Writers' Cookbook could not have been more thrilling for me. We may not have the Marcel Duchamp and Marianne Moore entries of the 1961 original, but I dare say we have an even more eclectic, adventurous, wondrous assemblage of writers and artists and what they did, can, or wish they could do in a kitchen. You'll get lost in Yiyun Li's 'Hope in a Shell,' a poignant essay about rations in Beijing of the 70s, only to end up in a recipe for good ol' scrambled eggs; you'll learn of pizza's American roots as 'Trenton Tomato Pie' thanks to Jane Smiley; and you'll even get the best description of my favorite Persian food, Kamrooz Aram's 'The Distinctive Melancholy of Ghormeh Sabzi!' And of course, don't dare skim those entries made to feed only your imagination, like T.C. Boyle's uncanny 'Baked Camel' or Aimee Bender's dystopian 'Another Stone Soup.' No matter where you poke around in the book, Garrett's collection is a delightful mix of utility and whimsy, a classic cookbook as much as a deliciously voyeuristic journey into the other most personal thing all writers and artists at least attempt to create--whether expert chefs, like Ruth Reichl, or self-proclaimed novices like Rick Moody. Very rarely have I found writing so consistently charming, or a book so unwaveringly lovable! This is an instant classic that all of us, readers and eaters that we are, have no choice but to absolutely adore." -- Porochista Khakpour, author, The Last Illusion and Sons and Other Flammable Objects "This book is the most rewarding and nourishing of Venn diagrams: story and food.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
