Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe's Cookbooks Tested by Art Assignment

PBS Digital Studios' series the Art Assignment, hosted by curator Sarah Urist Green, explores the culinary practices of artists Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe. Green attempts recipes from cookbooks associated with each artist, including O'Keeffe's whole wheat bread and Kahlo's Chiles Rellenos. O'Keeffe, who grew up in Wisconsin, ground her own flour and baked daily, while Kahlo learned cooking from her mother's copy of 'El Nuevo Cocinero Mejicano' and from Diego Rivera's first wife, Guadalupe. Green's efforts are documented in two videos, with the Kahlo episode featuring dishes from 'Frida's Fiestas' by Marie-Pierre Colle and Guadalupe Rivera. The videos include vintage photos and artwork, and Green's cooking skills are critiqued by YouTube commenters. The post also references other artist cookbooks, such as the Futurist Cookbook and Andy Warhol's 1959 cookbook.
