The Plagiarist in the Kitchen

The Plagiarist in the Kitchen

by Jonathan Meades

says

Meet the anti-cookbook: this irreverent collection of 125 recipes comes courtesy of provocateur Jonathan Meades who attempts to debunk the myth of culinary innovation. Startling black-and-white images and bursts of Meades’ charged commentary accompany instructions for dishes like his mother’s deep-fried eggs, Goodfellas-inspired meatballs, and even avocado on toast.

from the publisher

Jonathan Meades has also been called ‘the best amateur chef in the world’ by Marco Pierre White. His contention here is that anyone who claims to have invented a dish is delusional, dishonestly contributing to the myth of culinary originality…Meades delivers a polemical but highly usable collection of 125 of his favourite recipes, each one an example of the fine art of culinary plagiarism.

Meades writes “an anti-cookbook” “an explicit paean to the avoidance of culinary originality (should such a thing exist)” “in the kitchen there is nothing new and nor can there be anything new. It’s all, theft” SAY NO MORE.
