Getting invited over for leftovers is raised to the level of art
when the leftovers were cooked for a photo shoot by Marco Canora.
When we had finished eating all we could manage
we looked at some of the photos taken of the food for Marco's book
Salt to Taste which is due out this fall.
Everything was delicious but the lasagna verde and a fish
and potato spread from Lucca stunned.
The book is about how to make all these things at home.
I asked Marco where he shopped for ingredients: the green market
at Union Square and Chelsea Market.
Exactly where I shop. Now all I need is the book and our lives will be much improved.
Lots of art yesterday. Here Lucille Nurkse with Final Concert
from Jazz and Art/an exhibit celebrating America's musical art form at
ITMA. (It's that man again.....) Preston Trombly with
For some reason yesterday was an embarrassment of riches.
It was finally spring and everything seemed new, vibrant and exciting.
This tree reminded me of Samuel Palmer's visions
of Kentish orchards long ago.
Even the mural painted by children at a local school delighted me.
Maybe it was the dog.......

ReplyDeleteThat food had my mouth watering, Elizabeth. That tree in full lossom reminded me of AE Housman's Shropshire Lad and "Lovliest of trees, the cherry now......" - as usual a colourful post (this time with added food.)
ReplyDeleteWow...the food looked delicious...especially the fish & potato spread from Lucca. Oh how I miss NY!
ReplyDeletewhat an amazing dining experience! I love all these art shots - creativity with so many different voices....
ReplyDeleteI like your new blog look...
ReplyDeleteMy, what an interesting life you are leading there in New York! Delicious too.
I always thought food had to be photographed through special filters etc. But that certainly wouldn't be true of the blossom!
