Daniel Spoerri has captured the state after a meal in his trap pictures and presented it in an unusual, vertical perspective. However, he has also focused on the moment before the meal: cooking! Spoerri is a collector of historical cookbooks, a culinary ethnologist, a restaurant founder, and a provocateur of both sight and taste. In this booklet, recipes, glosses, and anecdotes are compiled into a cultural history of food and an introduction to Eat Art.
