Hardback, colour and black and white illustrations, 256 pages, W195mm x H250mm
More than just a cookbook, this publication includes interviews with
figures who have defined creative culture,
including photographers, street artists, musicians and DJs.
Ten of
these figures relate their ‘recipes’ for street artefacts, including
Rodney Smith’s ‘How to create authentic skate products’ and Pleix’s
‘How to make an original film’. Throughout the book King Adz shows us
how we can recreate some of the tasty food we often find in diners,
cafes and street stalls around the world, including jerk chicken with hot pepper
gravy, chilli con carne and potjiekos.
Colourful and vibrant, the book is illustrated throughout with original
photography, giving the reader a feel for the street life of featured cities. One of the most refreshing and innovative cookbooks
out there, ‘The Urban Cookbook’ reminds us of the creative and
community spirit that surrounds food.
