At last, Dorothy Iannone's suggestive and confessional—yet totally legit—1969 cookbook is available in this facsimile edition

Featured spread is reproduced from Dorothy Iannone: A Cookbook, a facsimile of the artist's legendary 1969 hand-written recipe book, compiled while she was living, and fighting, with her equally tempestuous lover, Dieter Roth—to whom the book is dedicated. "Those years were among the most prolific work periods of my life," the artist writes. "In my atelier, I worked on the Cookbook on a drawing table, and when I had had enough of that, I resumed painting one of my large canvases, now referred to as the Eros series, which was placed against the wall behind me. While I painted, I played my favorite LP records. Cigarettes and vodka, music and song, accompanied my journey through the nights in my atelier. And now, reading the comments with which each page of the Cookbook is adorned, I realize that nothing less than love could have prompted the transforming of an accumulation of recipes into a work of art."
