Book on tasty and healthy food is Karasik’s homage to

the renown “art book” from the 1950s and 1960s with the

same title. Almost every Soviet household had a copy

of this cookbook containing over twenty glossy colour

plates. For this 15 copy edition the artist made a double

page lithograph on paper and nine lithographic full page

illustrations on primed sheets of canvas, printing his

text on the reverse side. Paper and canvas sheets are

bound in cardboard that is covered with green paper,

the inside flyleaves are covered with original 1970s

posters. A paper plate is mounted on the cover upon

which the title is printed. On the green linen spine, three

uniform stars have been mounted. The book is kept in a

clamshell box with a crushed fork and spoon.
