“In my atelier, I worked on the Cookbook on a drawing table, and when I had had enough of that, I resumed painting one of my large canvases. Reading the comments with which each page of the Cookbook is adorned, I realize that nothing less than love could have prompted the transforming of an accumulation of recipes into a work of art. (…) The utilitarian objective of A Cookbook, “to have my favorite recipes always with me when I cooked for my peripatetic beloved.”
