Editorial Reviews

Selected for Vogue.com's Best Photo Books of Spring 2016

Vogue.com - Suzanne Shaheen

This is a book where "I just looked at the pictures" actually flies. But you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t at least marvel, like I did, at some of the very excellent recipe-writing from these artists... But should you keep this book on your coffee table or in your kitchen? Get a copy for each room.

Food 52 - Kenzi Wilbur

The Photographer’s Cookbook constructs its own vintage picture of the literal and visual tastes of the era, mixing with the contributors’ striking images recipes both esoteric and generic and utterly of their times.

Vogue.com - Rebecca Bengal

The Photographer’s Cookbook seems an especially timely tome, given our hunger-inducing Instagram feeds and voyeuristic appetites.
