Interesting glimpse into the life of Georgia O'Keefe and her ideas about health and our relationship with the land。 Recipes were。。。 interesting - simple and specific。 Definitely a priority placed on dairy products。 Interesting glimpse into the life of Georgia O'Keefe and her ideas about health and our relationship with the land。 Recipes were。。。 interesting - simple and specific。 Definitely a priority placed on dairy products。 。。。more

I thoroughly enjoyed Ms Woods stories before each recipe。 Some were connected to the recipe， some stories were random stories that gave insights into Georgia O’Keeffe！s life in New Mexico。 I look forward to trying some of here recipes。 I found this book adding to the mystic and eccentricity of Georgia’s life。

A fun and quick glimpse into Georgia O’Keeffe’s life in her 90’s。

No recipes of real interest to me， but Georgia O'Keeffe lived to be 98 and ate simply， so I probably should pay attention to what she ate。 Small amount of comments from the author about her time with Georgia O'Keeffe。 No recipes of real interest to me， but Georgia O'Keeffe lived to be 98 and ate simply， so I probably should pay attention to what she ate。 Small amount of comments from the author about her time with Georgia O'Keeffe。 。。。more

A good companion to PAINTING WITH O'KEEFFE。 Full of simple recipes made with local foods sometimes straight from her garden。 Margaret Wood was O'Keeffe's companion from 1977 to 1982。 The best part， Wood's remembrances of O'Keeffe and her anecdotes。 Fun！ A good companion to PAINTING WITH O'KEEFFE。 Full of simple recipes made with local foods sometimes straight from her garden。 Margaret Wood was O'Keeffe's companion from 1977 to 1982。 The best part， Wood's remembrances of O'Keeffe and her anecdotes。 Fun！ 。。。more

A Painter’s Kitchen is a great read as well as a practical cookbook full of simple and delicious and healthy recipes。 I would love to be just like O’Keeffe when I am aged—-a little bit persnickety， a lot opinionated， and still full of piss and vinegar！

In the mid-1940s， when O'Keeffe was settling into her Abiquiu home， the garden was one of her enduring passions--in fact， it was one of chief reasons she wanted a house in that village。 Her friend Maria Chabot had already put a great deal of work into renovating the long-abandoned garden within the adobe compound and restoring the acequia （the irrigation system）。 The garden is a major topic of their letters when O'Keeffe was in New York and Chabot was working on the Abiquiu house。For the next fo In the mid-1940s， when O'Keeffe was settling into her Abiquiu home， the garden was one of her enduring passions--in fact， it was one of chief reasons she wanted a house in that village。 Her friend Maria Chabot had already put a great deal of work into renovating the long-abandoned garden within the adobe compound and restoring the acequia （the irrigation system）。 The garden is a major topic of their letters when O'Keeffe was in New York and Chabot was working on the Abiquiu house。For the next four decades， O'Keeffe continued the garden， with the help of a local gardener。 The vegetables， fruit， and herbs produced in that garden， along with whole grains and locally produced dairy， eggs， and meat， made up her diet。 In this， she was heavily influenced by the work of Adelle Davis， a nutritionist and natural foods advocate popular in the 1940s， 50s， and 60s。The recipes in this book are representative of the foods prepared in O'Keeffe's kitchen by a succession of women the artist hired and taught。 Compiled by Margaret Wood， who worked as a cook and companion from 1977-1982， these recipes are simple and unembellished， emphasizing flavor and good nutrition over fancy preparations， and the instructions are easy to follow。 If you're a fan of haute cuisine， there's little for you here; O'Keeffe scorned that kind of diet。 There is some attention to the traditional foods of New Mexico， like the recipes for biscochitos and sopaipillas， and those that focus on chile peppers。 But if you're chiefly interested in establishing and maintaining a healthy， vegetable-based diet， this book will give you a good place to start。But of course， the real treasures here are the distinctively O'Keeffian anecdotes that Wood has collected and used to illustrate and frame every recipe。 Like good dinner-table conversation， they lend a rich context to the simple food and give us a glimpse into the ordinary life of an extraordinary woman。 。。。more

Georgia was ahead of her time with her strong desire to eat FRESH from her garden -- the recipes are quite simple but the idea is to eat flavorful food that is fresh -- nice anecdotes from the author who was her live-in companion for a few years。

Everything in here is simple and real。 Normal cookbooks make food I would never come up with on my own， and use tons of seasoning。。。 but this book uses mostly the flavors found in the ingredients themselves， and herbs O'Keefe grew herself。 I'm terrible at using cookbooks and this is the only one that has ever come close to being useful。 Everything in here is simple and real。 Normal cookbooks make food I would never come up with on my own， and use tons of seasoning。。。 but this book uses mostly the flavors found in the ingredients themselves， and herbs O'Keefe grew herself。 I'm terrible at using cookbooks and this is the only one that has ever come close to being useful。 。。。more
