O’Keeffe, well known for her striking paintings of the Southwest, carried her creativity into the kitchen, where she took great pride in her healthy culinary style. A Painter’s Kitchen is Margaret Wood’s recollection of seventy recipes from Georgia O’Keeffe’s kitchen. As Miss O’Keeffe’s companion for five years, Wood’s responsibilities included, among other things, preparing many of the meals. Besides containing recipes from Miss O’Keeffe’s kitchen, the book describes in charming detail Miss O’Keeffe’s outlook on food, philosophy, life, art, and the world.
