Artist, cook, creative director, and author Julia Sherman released her debut cookbook, Salad for President: A Cookbook Inspired by Artists and completely inspired us.

A visually rich collection of inventive recipes and conversations with artists, architects and musicians, Salad for President offers a rare glimpse into the everyday lives of the most creative characters. Sherman visits unusual live/work spaces from Kyoto to Mexico City, and even our very own bay area, interviewing and photographing her subjects as they cook and share a meal. The resulting volume offers insight into the inner lives of artists with a uniquely vegetable-obsessed perspective.
