Leave Me Alone with the Recipes

Viac o knihe

When Rich and MacNaughton discovered a painted manuscript at an antiquarian book fair, it drew them in like a magnet. The sixty-five years old work was by Cipe Pineles, the first female art director at Condé Nast. Completed in 1945, it was a keepsake of her connection to her childhood's Eastern European food. The manuscript led Rich and McNaughton into a dazzling history of mid-century design, art, food, New York City society, and culture. With Pineles's illustrated cookbook and a section of updated recipes as its centerpiece, this volume will delight foodies and design devotees alike.
