[Sca-cooks] News and reviews of the Edible Monument show

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

Saw it last week. The Ivan Day piece is part of a long exhibit on sugar  
monuments for events. Fun, but most images are black and white prints so one 
has  to use one's imagination. The other part of that exhibit consists 
largely of  eighteenth century cookbooks, many belonging to Anne Willan (who 
founded La  Varenne cooking school in Paris). I know these from Google Books, but 
it was  cool to see them in the... pulp?

The other exhibit - "Eat, Drink and Be Merry" - that is part of this is in  
their manuscript room, which is dimly lit. The images are lovely, but 
small, so  you might actually prefer viewing them on-line:
