About this title

Synopsis

Have you ever seen a cookbook that mixes controversy into its recipes? Have you ever come across a book that combines gourmet dishes, artwork, and political and social commentary? Have you ever experienced a book beginning with the suggestive and unique packaging it comes in, that contains cutting-edge creative, and provocative contents that simultaneously stimulate, insatiate and exacerbate? Can a single book raise questions, stir emotions, and make you thirst for food and knowledge? "Art and Cook" may just be this generation's breakthrough book and it's aptly labled by its creators as being the leader of the "Revolutionary Movement."

"Art and Cook: Love Food, Live Design, and Dream Art" is not your ordinary cookbook. Nor is it your ordinary art book. In fact, it's hard to classify, as it consists fully of three integrated parts that overlap, merge and melt into each other. Our life's art, food and politics are intertwined in a fascinating approach taken by creative talent that until now has remained behind the scenes.
