Cooking Without Borders by Anita Lo

Cooking Without Borders by Anita Lo

Illuminated manuscripts collected by the kings and queens of England from the 9th to the 16th century form the heart of a unique and visually stunning collection held by the British Library. A key figure in the formation of the collection is King Edward IV (1461-1483), who commissioned luxury manuscripts decorated with his arms. Subsequent monarchs added to this library, which was given to the nation by George I in 1757. Over 150 examples from this exceptional collection are presented in this catalog which accompanies a major British Library exhibition of the same name. These manuscripts contain paintings produced by some of the finest artists of the Middle Ages and together provide the most vivid surviving source for understanding royal identity, moral and religious beliefs, learning, faith, and international politics. The catalog features a full-page entry of around 750 words on each manuscript included, as well as three illustrated essays which explore the wider history and context of this unique collection. It will also be lavishly illustrated, with a beautiful reproduction of an image from each manuscript presented alongside the text for every entry.

Anita Lo is the owner and chef of West Village, NY-based Annisa. For several decades, she has received critical acclaim as one of the United States' most inventive and celebrated chefs. This is her first book.
