Description
On todays THE FOOD SEEN, Patricia Curtan is a printmaker, long associated with Alice Waters. If youve ever been to Chez Panisse in Berkley, CA, its Patricas letterpress, woodcut and linoleum block reliefs, which have graced the restaurants menus for over 40 years. Inspired by 16th century European herbals and Japanese ukiyo-e prints, Patricias art can also be seen in the book Menus for Chez Panisse- illustrating her influences, drawn from nature, documenting the tactile, temporal experience that makes a meal. Thanks to our sponsor, Hearst Ranch, and thanks to Cookies for todays music. What made it special was that it was very personally made for that moment at the restaurant. [16:25] The places I really get attached to are my kitchen and my studio, more than geography Id say. [54:00] -- Patricia Curtan on THE FOOD SEEN
