Synopsis

Jackson Pollock the artist needs no introduction - but perhaps lesser known is Jackson Pollock the gardener, baker, and dinner-party host. From starters and entrees to side dishes, breads, and desserts, Dinner with Jackson Pollock features more than fifty recipes collected from handwritten pages scrawled by Jackson; his wife, artist Lee Krasner; his mother, Stella; or traded among their many friends in the town of Springs on Long Island, interspersed with Jackson's masterworks, still lifes of the Pollock-Krasner home, and beautiful photographs of each delectable recipe, plus delightful tales from Jackson and Lee's family and local friends, for a truly unique and insightful portrait of a great American artist.

About this title

Review:

'I did the cooking but he did the baking... he was very fastidious about his baking - marvelous bread, cake, and apple pies.' --Lee Krasner
