Description
"It's one of my favourite cookbooks. It combines food and love - every page is a recipe, but every page is also about a relationship with food and friends." Ruth Rogers
Discover recipes beloved by artists, curators, and collectors in this singular cookbook.
Featuring over 200 recipes gathered from the personal culinary repertoires of contemporary artists, curators, chefs, and collectors, A Cookbook for Iwan is an opportunity to discover and recreate the breakfasts, lunches, dinners, drinks, and desserts that fuel the art world's global community. With a foreword by food writer and critic Tom Parker Bowles, the book's recipes are accompanied by handwritten notes, whimsical illustrations, and playful photographs that capture the idiosyncrasies of its contributors. Among them are artists including Anna Maria Maiolino, who explains how to make a classic spaghetti alla napoletana, and William Kentridge, who reveals how to make a cocktail often enjoyed in his studio. Annie Leibovitz, Lorna Simpson, and Christina Quarles pass on family recipes, while Martin Creed and Jenny Holzer take a characteristically conceptual approach, with original artworks finding their place among the book's soups, stews, pastas, and pies. Originally created by Manuela Wirth as a gift for her husband Iwan, A Cookbook for Iwan reflects the appreciation of good, honest food that the couple-the founders of the art gallery Hauser & Wirth and the hospitality company Artfarm-share, transformed into a recipe book that is truly one of a kind.
