Cooking in the Photographer’s House by Lynn & Obie Oberholzer was launched at David Krut Projects and is accompanied by an exhibition of Obie’s photographs.
The book is about “recipes infused with passion that celebrates friends, family and good times, with sumptuous photographs by South Africa’s acclaimed Obie Oberholzer”.
“When you’ve been married to a photographer for 44 years, you tend to see things through his eyes; colour and design affect you, no matter where you are, but especially in the kitchen, where I often call Obie to relish the colours on the chopping board or the beauty of a perfect cheesecake.” – Lynn Oberholzer
The book invites you to join them for a meal at the photographer’s home. It will be a long meal filled with reflection and laughter and is a visual journey of their travels, life style and surroundings. The food is simple and inspired and Obie’s photographs are a feast for the eye. Living in the dreamy location of Nature’s Valley in an old beach house renovated to suit their lifestyle, this recipe book developed into something that shares their combined passions of images, food and nature. Lynn’s cooking is peasant style,
food with emphasis on fresh, quality raw ingredients, food which anyone can cook.
“This book is a celebration of our lives together – how we live, where we’ve come from, family and friends, appreciation of life, from the call of the ocean, the spirit of the forest, to the food on the table.”
