More than a book of recipes, this cookbook explores Lee Miller's life through the influence of food and how it ascends to becoming the creative vehicle that she eventually swaps her camera for and uses to build bridges, heal old wounds, and to empower other women. A woman of many lives and mistress of her own re-invention Lee Miller, model, surrealist and fashion photographer, war correspondent and gourmet cook does everything wholeheartedly and with an imaginative flair. Much has been written about the varied forms of her creativity but Lee Miller's achievement as a gourmet chef is usually left to being an endnote. Her granddaughter Ami Bouhassane sees this part of her life as Miller's longest battle and most extraordinary personal accomplishment in every sense. Contains over a hundred of Lee Miller's recipes as well as images by her and others in both colour and black and white. AUTHOR: Co-Director of Farleys House & Gallery Ltd, the organisation that manages the Lee Miller Archives and Farleys House, home of her grandparents Lee Miller and Roland Penrose. Author, curator, podcast presenter and lecturer on both Miller and Penrose, Ami Bouhassane has worked extensively with their material for over 25 years. Her first book Lee Miller: A Life with Food, Friends and Recipes (2017) won 3 awards, including the IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals) Jane Grigson award for scholarship. She is currently recording her fourth podcast series 'Farleys 75, I remember?' based on recollections of friends of Miller and Penrose that stayed at Farleys. SELLING POINTS: . Lee Miller's recipes . Winner of prestigious Jane Grigson Award for Scholarship from IACP 2019 . Winner of Gold Medal in the 'Cookery' category at the IPPY awards USA 2018 76 colour, 113 b/w illustrations
