The newly discovered illustrated recipes of wildly influential yet unsung designer Cipe Pineles, introducing her delectable work in food and art to a new generation.
Cipe Pineles was the first female art director at Conde Nast, and a graphic designer and art director for several popular magazines. Sarah Rich is the author of Urban Farms and co-author of the bestselling Worldchanging. Wendy MacNaughton is a graphic journalist and illustrator of the bestselling cookbook Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, the New York Times bestselling The Gutsy Girl, and many others. Debbie Millman is the author of six books on design and branding and President Emeritus of AIGA. Maria Popova is a reader and a writer, and the creator of Brain Pickings.
A charmingly resurrected and illustrated cookbook from a design
pioneer. . . . It's in efforts like these that previous generations
are remembered. Kudos to the crew of editors, writers, and
designers for reinvigorating Leave Me Alone with the Recipes.
*Booklist*
A whimsically illustrated book (think: Maira Kalman meets Matisse)
. . . a truly original work.
*Vogue, "Best Coffee Table Books to Give (and Get) This Holiday
Season"*
Any history and food lover will be completely engrossed with
Pineles's story. It's just hard not to tear the pages up and hang
them on your walls.
*Bon Appetit*
At the heart of the book are her bright, bold gouache
illustrations--a vivid blue enamel pot of chicken soup and a
glowing green bowl of hot-pink borscht are particular
standouts--accompanying 25 hand-lettered recipes for iconic Jewish
dishes served by her mother. . . . this book aims to reintroduce
her work in the kitchen and at the drawing board to a new
generation of readers, cooks, and collectors.
*Santa Fe New Mexican*
Beautifully restored and with added notes from the editors and
archival photographs of Cipe, this book is not only full of
delightful vintage recipes and illustrations, but it gives you a
glimpse into the past and the life of an (until now) unsung
hero.
*Goop*
Bravo to Sarah Rich and Wendy MacNaughton for unearthing these
remarkable, vibrantly drawn and emblematic recipes for all to
see.
*Joan Nathan, author of KING SOLOMON'S TABLE*
Joyful and delicious, this book is a celebration of an outstanding
and influential designer, a memorable, visionary woman. It is a
gift to us all.
*Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator, MOMA*
Cipe Pineles was a role model for many a modern woman. No nonsense.
With a discerning eye. Getting things done with other men and women
of taste and culture. Not being afraid.
*Maira Kalman*
Cipe was a rare person by any standard; a superb designer as well
as a prototypical 'Jewish mother.'
*Milton Glaser*
Beautifully and imaginatively illustrated from another era with an
author whose own story is intriguing. This is about everything I
look for in a cookbook.
*Mark Kurlansky, author of SALT*
Utterly enchanting . . . [The] inspiring story of a woman who was
discriminated against, like so many others, for her sex, but who
rose to the top based on her talent and without changing her style
or losing her generosity of spirit.
*Nicola Twilley, author of EDIBLE GEOGRAPHY, co-host of GASTROPOD,
and NEW YORKER contributing writer*
This glorious and gorgeous book brings Cipe Pineles's art, food,
and hidden story to light.
*Davia Nelson, NPR’s The Kitchen Sisters*
