The Artists' and Writers' Cookbook

At Moosewood, we’ve always believed that the kitchen is a creative space, where nourishment and imagination meet. The Artists’ and Writers’ Cookbook celebrates that idea with warmth, wit, and a wonderful sense of play. This classic collection brings together recipes and reflections from painters, poets, novelists, and musicians - each offering a glimpse into how they cook, eat, and find sustenance in daily life.

First published in the mid-20th century and lovingly rediscovered by new generations, the book is as much about community and creativity as it is about food. The recipes are personal, idiosyncratic, and full of character, reminding us that cooking, like art, i  s an expression of voice, memory, and generosity.

A charming, inspiring book for the Moosewood shelf, perfect for cooks, readers, and anyone who finds joy in the shared table.
