Description

O’Keeffe, well known for her striking paintings of the Southwest, carried her creativity into the kitchen, where she took great pride in her healthy culinary style. The meals served in her household focused on homegrown and natural foods. They were always tasty, nutritious, modest, and beautifully prepared. A Painter’s Kitchen is Margaret Wood’s recollection of seventy recipes from Georgia O’Keeffe’s kitchen. As Miss O’Keeffe’s companion for five years, Wood’s responsibilities included, among other things, preparing many of the meals. O’Keeffe directed Miss Wood in the preparation of simple, delicious food using many fresh ingredients and insisted that Wood pay scrupulous attention to every step of food production and preparation. Besides containing recipes from Miss O’Keeffe’s kitchen, the book describes in charming detail Miss O’Keeffe’s outlook on food, philosophy, life, art, and the world, while maintaining respect for the artist’s well-known desire for privacy.
