The art of the Renaissance is justly celebrated, but what is seldom appreciated is that alongside the celebrity artist emerged the celebrity chef - or that Andrea del Sarto once recreated the Florence Baptistery out of sausages and parmesan for a banquet. Witty, erudite, and beautifully illustrated throughout, this extraordinary book draws on a dazzling array of paintings, along with period descriptions, recipes and menus, to explore the convergence between the art of the studio and that of the kitchen.
