There is a beautiful cookbook called "Spirit of the Harvest" that has
lovely photos of vessels along with the recipes. There are also some good
recipes and lots of interesting lore to go along with it. Your suggestion
brought that book to mind.
Hey, glaze recipes for the accompanying pots could be included, too.

Great idea, Lisa.
There are companies that put together cookbooks for groups, to be used for
fund raisers. I'm sure some prospects could be found on-line.
The kind of cookbook suggested in a previous post, with many photos of
pottery, might or might not be available from these types of companies. It
would almost certainly be quite expensive to print, but that doesn't mean it
can't be done. I would be willing to pay for and contribute to such a book,
and I'm sure many others would as well.
If you'd like to do some research and find out what's available, maybe the
rest of us will find niches in which we can help as well.

Concerning proceeds a Clayart cookbook should there be one, should there be
proceeds and if NCECA becomes the benificiary , NCECA has several funds that might
be appropriate for donations, one funds student fellowships (the cup sale),
another funds scholarships to residency programs (this is where NCECA T-shirt sale
money goes), another is our general endowment (this is where operating surpluses
and auction proceeds generally go). If you want details I will try to get some. I
would probably fund the student fellowships. This money is available to students
to do research, and other special projects. It has been used for travel to visit
potteries and museums. It might also be really cool for Clayart Cookbook proceeds
to be used to fund the k-12 shows poster. This would give the cookbook a place to
be sold and a group of people wanting to sell it.

How about facing pages: one (food) recipe and a photo of a pottery
casserole/plate/dish/bowl with the food item on/in it? With credits for the
maker, etc. Great coffee-table book, and more helpful than the "vanity
press" books where artists pay hundreds of dollars to have their picture,
pot, and bio included.

Is a printer of this type that happens to be in the family.
I don't know where the idea for a 'Clayart Cook's' book started, but I cast
my vote to pursue the possibility of putting one together. Japanese cook
books are one of my favorites. Their use of pottery to enhance the food is
marvelous.
http://www.netlaputa.ne.jp/~namazu/japanesque/cooking/index.html
The proceeds could also go to fight hunger and there may be some kind of
funding available to assist in printing and distribution costs? Is there
anyone aware of such funding?
....Just thinking out load, hope I'm not jumping the gun but wouldn't it be
a great cook book, or at lest a website.

One problem w/ this approach is that I suspect very few of us have had our
work shot w/ food. This usually requires food stylists and special
lighting. Mayor mel might be an exception, since he had his bowls on cereal
boxes.....

I have a wonderful cookbook that was done in 1972 by an artists group in New
Jersey. I found it at a used book sale and it is a treasure. The pages are
done much like Dai's suggestion, only in this case it's a pen and ink sketch
by the artist contributing the recipe. It's one of the most fascinating books
I have for friends to leaf through. Can't you imagine how great it would be
to actually have recipes and pictures from WE WHO MAKE THE FOOD POTS?

One problem with the 'food in our pots; idea - my work is definitely not used for
food - sculptural vessels and masks in raku or pitfired - so I couldn't put an
example of the finished recipe in one of my pots - or have I misunderstood again?
Nita ps. I am so disappointed that I can't make it to NCECA - ya'll are going to
have too much fun!

so we mix shots of food on plates with shots of tables laid out with
decoration and function, room style shots, etc....
