A woman of many lives and mistress of her own re-invention, Lee
Miller was a model, surrealist, fashion photographer, war
correspondent, gourmet cook, and more. She did everything in her
life wholeheartedly and with an imaginative flair. Though much has
been written about the varied forms of her creativity, Miller's
achievement as a gourmet chef is usually relegated to the endnotes.
However, her granddaughter, Ami Bouhassane, views cooking as a
vastly important part of her life--her longest battle and most
extraordinary personal accomplishment in every sense. As a trustee
of the Lee Miller Archives, Bouhassane has worked closely with the
material for more than nineteen years. Coupled with her access to
never-before-published manuscripts and photographs, Bouhassane's
unique insight into her grandmother's life reveal previously
unknown aspects of Miller. More than just a collection of recipes,
this award-winning cookbook explores Miller's life through the
influence of food and shows us how it became the creative vehicle
for which she eventually swapped her camera and used it to build
bridges, heal old wounds, and empower other women. Featuring more
than 180 of Miller's pictures, nearly one hundred of her recipes,
an introduction by her son, Antony Penrose, and material from the
cookbook that she was secretly hoping to publish at the end of her
life, Lee Miller: A Life with Food, Friends & Recipes is a
treasure not to be missed.
