Eat Like an Artist with Chef Kelly & Mandee Hammerstein on WDVR’s Let’s Talk

Cezanne, Monet, Cassatt, Warhol, Dali, O’Keefe, and others, aside from being great artists who all lived during interesting points in our history – what did they all have in common?  Food!  These creative geniuses had to eat, and we imagine they did it well!  Together, we explore the obvious, knowing these highly innovative and fascinating individuals had to eat!  

But what did that look, smell and taste like?  What were the cuisine trends, crops, availability, and color of food available at these times?  For some artists, we have clues, and for others, we research and imagine.  Join Arts Researcher & Marketer Mandee Hammerstein, along with Chef Kelly Unger, as they explore the personalities, history, and possibilities in the world of creative living and cooking through the eyes and taste buds of some of our world’s prized creatives. Here we hope you find yourself eating like an artist with informative art history refreshers and fun facts, along with recipes and resources on how to make your next delicious and artistically-inspired masterpiece.
