A surrealistically illustrated cookbook for people who appreciate art and enjoy eating really good food.

38 Illustrations
I have chosen to illustrate the recipes with depictions of animals, rather than drawings of cooked, processed meats, intentionally. The richness of pork is expressed in the robust, vibrant, playful piglet. The delicacy of salmon is seen in the glossy, leaping fish. The nourishing richness of vegetable sprouts into less and blooms into flowers.

60 Recipes
It's all in here: entrees, soups, snacks, breakfasts, desserts, more soups (both the Chef and the Artist like soups a rather lot) , some meat, some meatless. I did not have any specific diet in mind, only a sense of which foods felt “good”. All yummy. All light, nourishing, simple - few ingredients, nothing processed, everything prepared from scratch.

108 Ingredients
Ingredients include: fruits, vegetables, unprocessed meats, fish, nuts, beans, lentils, quinoa, oils, vegetable juices, vegetable juices with added fruit. Ingredients exclude: dairy, sugar, wheat, corn, rice, cereal, processed foods of any kind - dried, smoked, otherwise preserved, all condiments, sauces, dressings.

Selections from the book
Working with Mark
Both Mark and I always have food on our minds. It might not be in the forefront, it might not bring itself into awareness at a moment but it’s always there, lurking in the shadows. Thus any time is a good time to talk about food.
I have never decide to invite Mark to join me in the cook book project, I didn’t have to - he’s been involved long before the project was no more than a spark in my mind. With the fluid and ongoing sharing of cooking-related thoughts, ideas, tips we’ve sustained for some years, I can no longer tell where Pausha’s recipes end and Mark’s begin.
Working with Pausha
When I first saw Pausha’s surrealistic drawing of fish and greens, I was transfixed. I said, “I’d need to cook that.”
Then I saw another image and another, leading to this collaboration, where we’ve inspired each other.
