Recipoetry of a Kitchen Mystic: A Cookbook Scrapbook

by Rachel Ballantine

Originally a handmade book of collages of vintage handwritten recipes, original poetry about food and cooking, original recipes, and collages of images of women. It looks like a book you might have inherited from your great-grandmother, with "instant relatives", a nostalgic feel, as well as elements of alchemy and metaphysics. Written by a New Mexican writer and cook, poet and healer. This is a beautiful book with many layers of meaning and depth.There are elements of women's history in cooking, keeping house. Each page is handpainted and written either in calligraphy or on an antique typewriter.
