The Photographer’s Cookbook

In the late 1970s, the George Eastman Museum approached a group of photographers to ask for their favorite recipes and food related photographs to go with them for a cookbook. The cookbook grew from the idea that photographers' talent in the darkroom must also translate into special skills in the kitchen and the recipes did not disappoint and include Robert Adams' Big Sugar Cookies, Ansel Adams' Poached Eggs in Beer, Richard Avedon's Royal Pot Roast, and Imogen Cunningham's Borscht. The book was never published, until now, nearly 40 years later. A time capsule of contemporary photographers of the 1970s, many before they made a name for themselves.
