Mina Stone: Cooking for Artists

Description:

Where the art world sits down to eat. For years, chef Mina Stone has been feeding some of New York's most celebrated artists; cooking family-style lunches at Urs Fischer's Brooklyn studio and producing gallery dinners for the city's most storied art world gatherings. Cooking for Artists brings that spirit to the table, presenting more than 70 of Stone's recipes rooted in her Greek heritage and a philosophy of simple, fresh, seasonal food.

Designed by Fischer himself, the book is as much a work of art as a cookbook, featuring original drawings by Matthew Barney, Elizabeth Peyton, Rob Pruitt, and more than a dozen other artists who have gathered around Stone's table. Lush food photography and candid behind-the-scenes shots complete a volume that feels like a dinner party invitation you'll want to keep.
