Chatting Books online Day 219. Today's recommended book is The Fonville Winans Cookbook: Recipes and Photographs from a Louisiana Artist by Melinda Risch Winans and Cynthia Lejeune Nobles.
You probably know that Fonville Winans was a terrific photographer, but did you know that he was also an accomplished cook?
This fantastic collection of traditional Louisiana dishes shows the famous photographer's love of food and of working out a recipe. He would start with a base recipe and then tweak it each time he prepared it changing the recipe slight;y and writing down the new recipe meticulously. I particularly love that the author was able to share actual photos of some of his recipes in his own handwriting in several versions as the recipe evolved under Fonville Winans' workmanship.
A beautiful book with lovely photographs and great recipes. This hardcover cookbook sells for $39.95.
