The Artists' and Writers' Cookbook: A Collection of Stories with Recipes

The Artistsâ€™ and Writersâ€™ Cookbook is a collection of personal, food-related stories with recipes from 76 contemporary artists and writers.
Â
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 AbramoviÄ‡, Curtis Sittenfeld, Julia Alvarez, and many others.
Â
In The Artistsâ€™ and Writersâ€™ Cookbook,Â Anthony Doerr lures us out into the wild to find huckleberries andÂ happiness. Neil Gaiman makes a perfectly eerie cheese omelet while Ed RuschaÂ associates his cactus omelet with â€œa time of doom.â€ Yiyun Li eats rations inÂ Beijing while Edwidge Danticat prepares a soup to celebrate freedom. NelsonÂ DeMille reminisces about a meal he ate 40 years ago when serving in Vietnam;Â Kamrooz Aram recalls childhood â€œpicnicsâ€ in his basement in Tehran during airÂ raids. Sanford Biggers updates a soul food classicâ€”â€œsomething tasty to lessenÂ the bitter taste of consistent, systematic oppression.â€ Paul Muldoon and AimeeÂ Bender conjure food-related apocalyptic visions. Marina AbramoviÄ‡ shares aÂ dish best consumed on top of a volcano, Elissa Schappell dreams of playing SergeÂ Gainsbourg records to snails, and Padgett Powell tastes a dish that reverses timeÂ and space. Daniel Wallace woos with an eggplant sandwich. Francesca Lia BlockÂ 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 Artistsâ€™ and Writersâ€™ Cookbook is a portal into the kitchens and personal lives of an unmatched collection of contemporary artists and writers.
