Author Description

What happens when you ask leading chefs, culinary writers, bakers and other inspired foodies to conjure up a recipe for museum tableware and actually serve it on these precious, often centuries-old objects? The Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics in the Netherlands asked almost 50 cooks from East and West to take their inspiration from the origin, shapes and decorations of an equal number of objects from the museum?s bountiful collection. The result is a unique cookery book with recipes from all over the world, ranging from soups and salads, to meat, fish and vegan dishes, and from starters to cakes, biscuits and desserts. Marvel at the splendid photographs and the fascinating stories about the objects and be inspired by the delicious food presented on beautiful ceramics from the past and present.
