A Cookbook for Iwan
Discover recipes beloved by artists, curators, and collectors in this singular cookbook, originally created by Manuela Wirth as a gift for her husband Iwan, A Cookbook for Iwan reflects the appreciation of good, honest food that the couple—our founders—share, transformed into a recipe book that is truly one of a kind. Featuring over 200 recipes gathered from the personal culinary repertoires of contemporary artists, curators, chefs, and collectors, it is an opportunity to discover and recreate the breakfasts, lunches, dinners, drinks, and desserts that fuel the art world’s global community.

About The Cookbook
With a foreword by food writer and critic Tom Parker Bowles, the book’s recipes are accompanied by handwritten notes, whimsical illustrations, and playful photographs that capture the idiosyncrasies of its contributors. Among them are artists including Anna Maria Maiolino, who explains how to make a classic spaghetti alla napoletana, and William Kentridge, who reveals how to make a cocktail often enjoyed in his studio. Annie Leibovitz, Lorna Simpson, and Christina Quarles pass on family recipes, while Martin Creed and Jenny Holzer take a characteristically conceptual approach, with original artworks finding their place among the book’s soups, stews, pastas, and pies.

Featuring andouille sausage, chicken thighs, rice and okra, Amy Sherald’s recipe comes from her Aunt Brenda’s memory to your table. Whether you choose to cook it at home, or try it out at Fish Shop, it’s an Alabama classic. Flick through the A Cookbook for Iwan and you’ll find the recipe of our sister restaurant Fish Shop in Ballater’s lobster tagliarini, by Marcus Sherry, which many of you may have tried here at our first anniversary.

BOOK A TABLE“It’s one of my favourite cookbooks. It combines food and love – every page is a recipe, but every page is also about a relationship with food and friends.”
