Welcome to my world! I always thought it would be fun to be the ruler of my own place, and now I can be! I see it as an island within a big city full of life, culture and lots of laughter. Consider yourself a citizen.

Cookbook for designers and people who like to cook!






The creation of the book "Art & Cook" can be described as a Revolutionary Movement. The publication draws a correlation between food and art in a manner that is thought provoking, masterful and avant-garde.

As the lengthy titles imply (and don't be overwhelmed by these), the recipes in this book are complete meals, and the instructions are written simply and effectively to facilitate even the unseasoned cook. The sections of the book have been laid out to enable the reader to enjoy a complete dining experience - like laying a table - beginning with the mouth-watering appetizers and ending with rich, sumptuous desserts.

Porcini Mushrooms with Mascarpone and Herbed Ricotta Stuffed Zucchini Flowers are just a few of the delightful creations gracing the appetizer section, while for dessert, there's Baklava and Espresso Parfait with Meringue Chunks.

Not to be outdone are the stunning works of art that complement and sometimes mirror the food presentations. The works of some of the world's most famous Surrealist and Dadaist artists are visually altered for dramatic effect; inanimate objects eerily resembling prepared dishes are featured; and new bold works of art are presented for the very first time (see art references).

"Art & Cook" is not your ordinary cookbook. It's a totally satisfying and fulfilling experience.

And it is a cool butt-kickin' designed book too!
