Entertaining for a Veggie Planet by Didi Emmons

Entertaining for a Veggie Planet by Didi Emmons

Anonymous: Contemporary Tibetan Art reflects upon the complex relationship between ancient Tibet's artistic tradition of anonymity and contemporary artists' search for a voice in the present. This fully illustrated catalogue, designed by Philipp Hubert and copublished by ArtAsiaPacific and Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, State University of New York at New Paltz, includes texts by exhibition curator Rachel Perera Weingeist, curator and writer David Elliott and Tibetan cultural activist Jamyang Norbu. Participating artists Penba Wangdu, Tenzing Rigdol and Tsherin Sherpa also contribute essays sharing personal insight into their artistic practice.

This catalogue is published in conjunction with the exhibition Anonymous: Contemporary Tibetan Art at Samuel Dorsky Museum in New Paltz, which features more than fifty works of painting, sculpture, installation, and video art by twenty-seven Tibetan artists. The exhibition runs from July 20 through December 15, 2013, and will later travel to the Fleming Museum at the University of Vermont and the Queens Museum of Art, New York.

Emmons, Didi: -

Didi Emmons began cooking omelets when she was ten and had her own catering business by the age of fourteen. After earning a BS in food service management at NYU, serving as a stagiaire (apprentice) to La Varenne (cooking school) in Paris and opening several restaurants in the Boston area, she opened Haley House Bakery Cafe, a non-profit cafe in Roxbury, whose staff are people transitioning from homelessness and incarceration. She has since begun a program at Haley House Bakery Cafe, called Take Back the Kitchen, teaching Roxbury and Dorchester residents how to eat and cook healthfully.Her first book, Vegetarian Planet, was nominated for a James Beard Award. Her second book, Entertaining for a Veggie Planet, won the Best Book in the Healthy Category by the International Association of Cooking Professionals (formerly the Julia Child Award).

Emmons also serves as a trans fat consultant for the Boston Public Health Commission, as well as a food consultant for the Boston Public School food service. She is currently collaborating with Dr. Walter Willett (author of Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy) on a project about inexpensive but healthy food.Didi was inspired to write Wild Flavors after she met Eva Sommaripa whose herbs and greens are widely coveted by Boston-area chefs. While she is revered for the unsurpassed quality of her produce, she is equally admired for her energetic commitment to a simple and environmentally conscious lifestyle.
