Where culinary tradition meets artistic inspiration, The Artist's Lunch presents an intimate and lavishly illustrated journey into the kitchens and dining tables of Australia's most celebrated visual artists. With a foreword by the legendary Margaret Olley, McCormick and Rhodes chronicle the deeply personal relationship between creativity and nourishment, presenting recipes, rituals, and reflections gathered from artists who regard the act of cooking and sharing a meal as inseparable from their creative practice. The result is a richly textured portrait of artistic life — part cookbook, part cultural biography — that reveals how the lunch table becomes a canvas in its own right. Beyond the recipes, the book argues that food is a profound lens through which we understand an artist's sensibility, heritage, and daily rhythm. McCormick and Rhodes write with warmth and authority, weaving together stunning imagery and personal narrative to illustrate the symbiotic bond between art-making and the domestic rituals that sustain it. A celebration of Australian artistic culture as much as of good food, The Artist's Lunch leaves the reader wondering: what does a painter taste when they look at a perfectly set table?
