The Photographer's Cookbook

The Photographer's Cookbook

In the late 1970s, the George Eastman Museum approached a group of photographers to ask for their favorite recipes and food-related photographs to go with them, in pursuit of publishing a cookbook. Playing off George Eastmanâ€™s own famous recipe for lemon meringue pie, as well as former director Beaumont Newhallâ€™s love of food, the cookbook grew from the idea that photographersâ€™ talent in the darkroom must also translate into special skills in the kitchen. The recipes do not disappoint, with Robert Adamsâ€™ Big Sugar Cookies, Ansel Adamsâ€™ Poached Eggs in Beer, Richard Avedonâ€™s Royal Pot Roast, Imogen Cunninghamâ€™s Borscht, William Egglestonâ€™s Cheese Grits Casserole, Stephen Shoreâ€™s Key Lime Pie Supreme and Ed Ruschaâ€™s Cactus Omelette, to name a few. The book was never published, and the materials have remained in George Eastman Museumâ€™s collection ever since. Now, nearly 40 years later, this extensive and distinctive archive of untouched recipes and photographs is published in The Photographerâ€™s Cookbook for the first time. The book provides a time capsule of contemporary photographers of the 1970sâ€•many before they made a name for themselvesâ€•as well as a fascinating look at how they depicted food, family and home, taking readers behind the camera and into the hearts and stomachs of some of photographyâ€™s most important practitioners.
