quirky imagery—anyone who appreciates food that looks as good as it
tastes will want this book." —Vogue

encourage the integration of art in everyday life by distilling the
practices of figures such as Frida Kahlo and Barbara Kruger into
their best and most delicious aspects" —Design Milk
"Equal parts art and cook book, Choi’s playful monograph combines
the contemporary art and design worlds with home cooking to

you’ll see this year."—Robb Report

and design, with edible recreations of well known art pieces." —The
Zoe Report
“Esther Choi serves up some Mies van Der Roe dip, Florence Knoll
rolls, and Flan Flavin in her artwork-meets-cookbook
edition Le Corbuffet. And yes, this is but a sampling of
the cheeky, art- and architecture-inspired recipes that fill its
256 pages, along with crisp photographs of Dada-esque edible
sculptures. This is the perfect gift for the foodie on your list
who has a taste for the absurd, or the design wonk who loves to
throw a whimsical dinner party.” —Metropolis
“…look beyond the book’s cheeky puns and there is meaty cultural
critique…The book’s graphic design underscores Choi’s
subversiveness too.” —Quartz
“…a riotous homage to the art and design of cooking and
consumption...It’s these knowing recipe intros that combine
biography and whimsical quips that make Le Corbuffet an
essential conversation-starter for design-loving home cooks.”
—Mold
“Cookbooks are a blessing for those who have zero clues about the
wonders and tactics of cooking. But, most of them are monotonous in
their approach, the same dishes, presented in the same manner
across several varieties of these handy manuals. However, one lady
is challenging the norm by portraying the dishes in her magazine as
works of artistic hews.” —The Artistic Trap
"Esther Choi's book Le Corbuffet is a delicious read" —Core 77
