\'KUNST ESSEN\' is a fascinating illustrated work combining cookery and art, focusing on food as a culturally influential component of art. In 15 chapters, key works of art history from the Middle Ages to the present day are reinterpreted and their creators are presented. Inspired by these paintings, dishes are then produced, and the recipes follow. The dishes are presented as independent, photographically staged works of art, quite unlike conventional serving suggestions! The book combines classic paintings, practical cooking tips, humorous texts, and innovative food photography to create a unique intellectual and sensual pleasure. It has been conceived to whet your appetite for museum visits, cooking, and art itself -whether on canvas, using a camera, or standing at the cooker.
