| book description |

Conceived during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown and the accompanying rise in anti-Asian bigotry, Word of Mouth: Asian American Artists Sharing Recipes is an artistsâ€™ cookbook featuring stories and artwork from twenty-four Asian American and Asian diaspora artists from across the United States, with contributions that range from Los Angelesâ€“based performance artist Kristina Wongâ€™s â€œRecipe for Political Actionâ€ to New Orleansâ€“based painter Francis Wongâ€™s family recipe for stir-fried Szechuan alligator. Word of Mouth was first published as an online exhibition through the Virtual Asian American Art Museum. This print version features an introduction by art historian Michelle Yee, expanded essays, and brand-new recipes. Each contribution is accompanied by an original illustration and enriched by the artistâ€™s reflections on how their cuisine has been impacted by histories of war, migration, relocation, labor, or mixing. A pandemic project turned illustrated cookbook, this unique collection disrupts genre expectations to celebrate how artists use food to nurture and sustain their diverse communities and artistic practices as well as to build connection during times of isolation, grief, and loss.
