Favorite quote: “Now on the terrace we sit at the table and talk. And talk and talk. About relatives who are idiots. Or relatives who are better than we knew. What trips we are planning. What burdens we bear. And always there is a cake.”
From the publisher: In Cake, renowned artist and author Maira Kalman and food writer Barbara Scott-Goodman bring us a beautifully illustrated book dedicated to their love of cakes. Filled with Kalman’s inimitable illustrations and memories, from chocolate cake on a terrace in Tel Aviv as a child to a gorgeous pink cake enjoyed over Lucretius and Nietzsche in Rome, and sprinkled with seventeen mouthwatering recipes prepared by Scott-Goodman, Cake is a joyful and whimsical celebration of a timeless dessert.
