Food in Vogue

This book, a celebration of some of the finest food writing ever, illustrates how Vogue has mirrored the life of the times and the best of everything in cooking and entertaining over seven decades.

Since the twenties, when Marcel Boulestin began writing a regular column, food has always been an important subject in British Vogue. Recipes and tips were often contributed by society hostesses, and over the years many distinguished cookery writers, including Elizabeth David, Veronica MacLean, Robert Carrier and Arabella Boxer, have written regularly for the magazine.

This is not just a collection of wonderful classic recipes. In addition it serves as a showcase for the very best work of many major photographers and artists of their time. Illustrated with over 150 colour photographs and black-and-white drawings, it includes the work of Erte, John Minton, Denton Welch, Anton Bruehl, Lester Bookbinder, Irving Penn and Daniel Jouanneau, as well as many examples of the imaginative style of Tessa Traeger who worked in a special partnership with Arabella Boxer.
