The newly discovered illustrated 1940s recipes of wildly influential yet unsung food-lover and designer Cipe Pineles, introducing her delectable work in food and art to a new generation.

 

Not long ago, Sarah Rich and Wendy MacNaughton discovered a painted manuscript at an antiquarian book fair that drew them in like magnets: it displayed a vibrant painting of hot pink beets and a hand-lettered recipe for borscht written in script so full of life, it was hard to believe it was more than sixty-five years old.

It was the work of one of the most influential graphic designers of the twentieth century—Cipe (pronounced “C. P.”) Pineles, the first female art director at Condé Nast, whose impact lives on in the work of Maira Kalman, Julia Rothman, and many others. Completed in 1945, it was both a keepsake of her connection to her childhood’s Eastern European food—she called it Leave Me Alone with the Recipes—and, for Wendy and Sarah, a talisman of a woman they had not known was their idol: a strong, independent spirit whose rich archive—of drawings, recipes, diaries, and letters to family and friends—led them into a dazzling history of design, art, food, New York City society, and culture in the middle of the American century.

They teamed up with Maria Popova of BrainPickings and Debbie Millman of Design Matters, along with contributors Mimi Sheraton, Steven Heller, Joel Levy, and Maira Kalman, to present Cipe Pineles’s life and work as it should be presented—in glorious color. With Pineles’s illustrated cookbook and a section of updated recipes as its centerpiece, this gorgeous volume will delight foodies and design devotees alike.

Nice small bar cart
Color: Brown(17"w), Color: Brown(17"w)
We have a bar area but it’s downstairs and we are usually upstairs so it’s not convenient. I wanted a little cart to hold a few items but not be in the way. After looking all over the Internet I found this one for a good price. I liked the ability to remove the top so we can bring just that into the kitchen or living room and it looks nice. I had to put it together and it wasn’t too difficult, took about 30 min, HOWEVER I used a ratcheting screwdriver with an Allen wrench attachment or else it would have taken a lot longer! (It does come with the little Allen wrench included so you don’t have to purchase any tools.) All the parts were labeled well and included a couple extra screws. I tightened it up good and it’s sturdy. It doesn’t take up a lot of space. If you just need a small cart this will work! PS you can opt to leave off the parts that hold the wine glass if you don’t need them/ or want more space on that middle shelf

Ninjavan delivery not recommended
Color: Brown(24.8"w)
Bar cart came with instructions that were easy to follow for assembly. Size and height were as expected. The real problem was the delivery. Ninjavan was not able to deliver on time and kept saying that the wrong address was provided. Item was supposed to arrive on Dec 15 however, we reached out to Amazon about the problem and they sent a new item which arrived December 30 using a different courier.
